Miracle on the hill

On Good Friday my siblings and I and our families gathered at my sisters house for our usual Forsyth Easter get together...although it wasn't all that usual since we were missing my parents and we were eating Mexican. It only seemed right since we weren't able to be all together at Christmas eating Mexican. We did the usual Easter Egg hunt and as always we planned to head to the local park to roll our Easter eggs down the hill. As we were just sitting around enjoying each others company after our Mexican feast, someone looked out the window to see some seriously dark clouds moving quickly in our direction. "If we are going to roll eggs, now is the time" the call rang out. So quickly we gathered up the kids and headed out to the hill. Luckily we were driving away from the oncoming darkness. When we arrived, the wind had died down a bit, and the sun was still shining on the hill. So we raced up the hill and the competition began, who could get their egg the farthest without breaking. Dozens of kids and adults kids at heart rolled dozens of eggs, and the rain never came. It wasn't the warmest Easter egg rolling day, but it wasn't the most miserable either. We watched the clouds darken on either side of us, but the rain never came, and the sun continued to do it's best to shine through. We all had fun, and we all left dry, but as we headed out and back toward my sister's house the rain did come, and it poured for a while. It was a wonderful day, as it always when we all hang out together. We even got to skype with mom and dad, we just set them on the table and they got to enjoy the crazy chaos that is Forsyth.






These cousins are all born with in a year.

And another interesting fact, they were all over 9lbs at birth. 
Beware of the Forsyth genes.
