Easter

Every year, Youth and Family Services hosts an Easter egg hunt. This year it was predominately organized by Haleigh. After days of stuffing plastic eggs and gift bags, it was ready. Though that day we woke up to a light blanket of snow, the JVs all pitched in – BBQing, signing the kids up, and watching the organized chaos that is an indoors Easter egg hunt. Fun day!

For Easter, we once again packed up the van quite tightly, and headed up to Hays, MT to spend some time with all of the Montana JVs. We left on Friday and returned on Easter Sunday and in that time we saw a lot of the Hays community and the Fort Belknap reservation. The Hays girls live within ten minutes of a beautiful canyon and some really great places to hike. We spent some time with the local kids at Hays own Easter egg hunt – playing Red Rover, where it seems I was the only adult actually trying. We attended Easter vigil and some of us even stayed out until 7am at a Sundance preparation ceremony. It was a great time and the four Hays girls were wonderful hosts.
