Thirty-some years ago, my mother started making Ukrainian Easter eggs. They take hours to make and involve a stylus, beeswax & burning candles! We did them every year and some of us (ahemmm) were better than others.......let's just say that mine still resemble a preschooler's strange creation. Yesterday, the torch was passed on to Frances. We went to Aunt Anne's house and had a great time! I uploaded the photos backwards so pay attention!
Frances and my eggs - I'm NOT telling whose is whose.
Frances burning wax off of her completed egg.
Frances hard at work on her egg - look at that concentration. Where are the other children, you may ask? They dunked a couple of eggs and went off to watch "Finding Nemo!"
Sean making a tres funky egg. Sean is on his way to Key West as I type with the BOY SCOUTS!! When I was in girl scouts, we went camping in the rain at some skanky park. No justice.

Did you go to Pierce Hill Park? That's where we went. The DADS all went up earlier in the day . . . put up the big canvas tents, set up the COTS, built the fire, and then we arrived. We made our dinner by wrapping a potato and a burger in tin foil, but the DADS stuck them in the fire, and later took them out. In the middle of the night it started raining, so the DADS came back, took down all the tents, loaded us into their cars, and we all went to Beth Rogert's house and slept on the floor. This was the sum total of my camping experience with the girl scouts.
