Here are a few pictures from our Easter Saturday in Pahrump. Amanda's Dad & Mom have a travel trailer and Mary(the Mom) works for Terrible Herbst Founder Jerry Herbst. There is a Terrible Herbst RV Park in Pahrump and it's really nice with a pond complete with paddle boats, canoes, ducks, fountains and a swimming pool complete with a hot tub. We had a great time!!!
Grandma Cindy made little chickens with the kids and they colored a buzzilion Easter Eggs. A friend of Rex & Amy's,(Amanda's sister) Chis & Suzanne Alexander provideed the Easter Egg hunt to top all Easter Egg Hunts. There were 139 boiled eggs. The adults and children alike colored eggs. The adults colored them in camo to blend in with the tree trunks. Chris hid all the eggs, a tradition that came from his Mom when he was a kid. He would dig up a little patch of grass and put an egg in then cover it up. He would hide them under the gravel, on tree trunks and anywhere else he could think of. The eggs were all numbered and catalogued, it was quite the process. Eggs numbers 1-20 were for the two little kids and all the rest of the eggs were fair game for all the kids. When all was said and done the kids got certain prizes for certain egg numbers, not too much candy. It was an incredible sight to see, I have never seen such an elaborate Easter egg hunt in my entire 56 years of life. It was really fun. We BBQed hot dogs and hambers and everyone brought side dishes. Church today was wonderful with talks on the Resurection and fabulous music by the choir and our Bishop played the Organ and Piano and he has played on Broadway and is so good and his wife is a harpist and she is Choir leader, so needless to say it was awesome!!! HAPPY EASTER to all of you and I wish you all were there with us, that would have made a perfect day!!!
Love To All Of You,
Cindy

Hey Leisy & Kent, The name of the company is Terrible Herbst. The guy that started it is Jerry Herbst. His sons are also involved in the business Ed, Tim & Troy. They have a chain of gas stations and convience stores, they also own some casinos and much-much more. Mr. Herbst just had is 2nd yacht built and it is humongo with multiple bedrooms and all that goes with it and much much more. I
saw a picture of it and WOW!!! His captain had to go have further training because it is so much bigger than his other one. Lenny & Amanda get to go on a sunset cruise every year but they haven't gone on the new one yet. When Amanda's family goes to the beach each year they go on the first yacht for their dinner cruize and they are the WOW of the Balboa area. Because it is the biggest yacht in the bay. So you can imagine the new one and all. It was on the cover on some hoyiet/toytie yacth magazine. Enough said...Love Ya, Cindy
Pahrump sounds like a fun place & I can't believe you are basking in the sun. We woke up to snow again this morning. Our Easter was spent inside.
What a fun day and egg hunt. It looked so enticing. You guys always have fun family times. Love ya
In all actuality Pahrump is where all the houses of ill repute are. The are legal there. It is an ugly little town in the desert but the RV park is fabulous and we have a great time there every year!!!
