Easter Egg Hunt!

I know it is late, but better late than never!

We took the girls on a great Easter Egg hunt. We are so lucky to live in a community that has fun little events like this for the kids. It was within walking distance from our home right at the big park down the street.

The field was marked off in age segments - we were in the 2-4 yr age range. There were eggs everywhere. I think the workers just tossed them out there - no hiding! No place to hide - just eggs everywhere. Every color egg you can imagine - red, pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple - you get the point, right?

Well, the horn blows and the kids are off on a mad dash for eggs. Seriously, it was over in less than 90 seconds. It was the fastest thing ever! I finally look down into Evie's basket and what do I see??? Pink eggs. Only pink eggs. The girl walked past every other egg and only took the pink ones. I would not have believed it if I did not see it! And, despite only taking pink eggs, she got more than Erin!!

Neither of the girls cared much for the Easter Bunny. Initially when they visited him they would not even say hello. After the hunt they must have been somewhat thankful and decided to go back. Ev kissed him and Erin shook his hand. Super cute!
