Easter traditions...

Each year as a child my family and i would dye our hard-boiled eggs just like every other Easter-celebrating family. Then we would roll them down the hill, just like every other Easter-celebrating family (or so i thought). It wasn't until I was older that i realized (much to my dismay) that rolling eggs down a super-sized hill is not a normal easter tradition. I was baffled. I am now baffled as to the origin of this tradition. It is a mystery yet to be discovered. This year, Russ and I expertly colored our eggs but we couldn't find a big enough hill in Provo to roll them down. The purpose of rolling the eggs is to experience the satisfaction of watching them explode as gravity takes it's toll. We tried rolling them down a hill at Rock Canyon Park but they were all duds. We had to break them by throwing them at lightposts, sidewalks, children. Maybe next year i'll just resort to eating them although they wouldn't be as yummy as these easter cookies i made....yum!
