Easter at the Capitol has been a childhood favorite of not only myself but that of my mom and her siblings as well as my grandma and grandpa Anderson. I am grateful to be able to share this tradition with my children and my husband. This year was a blast, Carter understood what he needed to do to find eggs and how he needed to get his "papa's" help to get the more hidden ones. I am excited to report that this was the first year that my children were not deathly ill (Carter has been the last two years) which made it all the more enjoyable. On a side note as we were cleaning up like we do every year (what we take in we take out) we were stalked by the highway patrol men to clean up every single piece of hard boiled egg that we had played baseball with or face a a fine of littering. To make sure that we cleaned every piece up the cop sat and watched us. Keep in mind we have been doing this for generations and when we would hold still the seagulls would swoop in and eat the eggs. Not sure what this cops deal was but we were his target, needless to say we got it all cleaned up and can't wait to see what happens next year.
