"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Sat April 3rd Easter Egg Hunt @ Trophy Point

It was a gorgeous 75 degree morning & a perfect day for an Ester Egg Hunt. Maci wanted nothing to do with any of it. There were 1000's of eggs & a couple hundred children. The hunts were broken down in ages, but that didn't matter to Maci. She didn't like the crowds of people lining up around the field. She was bumped into a few times & so when the whistle blew for her group to hunt for the eggs laying everywhere, she stood still not moving. She just stood still & stared at the children running around like mad. It was kinda funny!! She wouldn't even pick up the few eggs laying around by her feet. Oh... and she didn't want her Easter basket (it never came out of the car) she carried her purse instead. Marlena helped her National Honor Society friends pass out candy to the children. Marlena gave Maci a couple pieces of candy & that made her morning!
Maximus had no trouble getting aggressive & going after some eggs. He ended up with a nice collection of eggs!


Maximus planted himself by this tree to sort his eggs & see what his goodies were.
In the above picture Scott is talking with Maximus & Maci about the two girls that ran over to the tree trying to get Maximus's eggs. He was looking through his eggs & placing them out of the basket one by one to count them & 2 girls saw a small pile of eggs from the other side of the tree & ran around to find Maximus. He immediately put his arm out to guard his eggs & say "these are mine"! It was so funny!
Maci sucking on a small piece of candy. She acquired a few eggs in her purse & was pleased.
All done & heading home!
