Easter Traditions

Every Easter our family went to stay at my grandparent’s farm for the weekend. One year when I was fairly young, there was a big storm the night before Easter, and a crucial section of wooden fence on the farm blew down. So we spent a good part of the day on Easter Sunday repairing the fence. Well we enjoyed it so much, that my Uncle Steve decided that we should fix the fence every Easter. So every Saturday night before Easter, he always goes out to the fence and damages it somehow (one year he actually damaged his pickup in the process) so that we end up spending a good part of Sunday fixing the fence. Strangely enough, I really enjoyed that tradition, and I think most of the rest of the family enjoyed it too!
