VPN Lab Series:
Cisco VPN LAB 1 : Simple Easy VPN Example between Routers and Comparison with DMVPN
Cisco VPN LAB 2 : IPSec VPN Example Between Two ASA 8.4.2
Cisco VPN LAB 3 : EZ VPN Between ASA 8.4.2, IOS Router and EZVPN Client Software
Working on Easy VPN and DMVPN, I completed this first lab for EZVPN lab and also list some using resource at the bottom of this post.

When ping from R2 (10.10.10.1) to R6 (30.30.30.30) and show crypto ipsec sa, we see encrypted packet is 5 but decrypted packet is 4. That is because first ping packet failed to reach the destination as we can see it from ping following result. After that, all ping packets will be encrypted and decrypted properly.
R2#ping 30.30.30.30 source 10.10.10.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 30.30.30.30, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 10.10.10.1
