We had over 3200 Easter eggs filled by our ward YW, a YW/YM group in Pleasant View and a group from Weber State. The ground was littered with eggs for both hunts. The weather was beautiful to be outside and the hotel had a pretty back lawn to use. It turned out great and people are hoping that we do it again. One mom of a 16 year old said that it was the first time that her daughter had ever gotten more than one or two eggs at a hunt. The rush of kids would scare her when she was little so they stopped taking her to the neighborhood hunts. Her daughter loved it as did everyone else.

| I delivered the eggs the day before. This is what 3200 eggs looks like before the hunt. |

| Mont the Magician performed for both groups and had a live bunny in that box. |
 |
| And of course we had an Easter Bunny for photo ops Jena is thrilled as you can see. |
The following Friday, April 25, the foundation also got invited to join the Olympus High School Rugby team for their warm-ups and to watch the game with their families for free. The weather was terrible everywhere--rainy and windy but I felt like Jena and I should at least show up. We took her friend Kaitlyn as well. I am so glad we did. The weather right around the stadium was beautiful for almost the entire night, just a little rain now and then. They taught the kids some rugby skills and were also so great with our kids. And Jena and Kaitlyn thought they were cute too. I really enjoyed watching my first live rugby game since BYU days. Olympus won which was fun, too. We hope to have a yearly event with them.

| Jena said this was her favorite move when they lifted a player up to catch the ball. |
