Each year, your subdivision association puts on an Easter Egg Hunt down at the park on the Saturday before Easter. There are 900 eggs scattered all over the park, each filled with something ranging from erasers and stickers to candy and treats. There are also six treasured golden eggs that, when turned in to the officials, allow you to choose a bigger prize.
It seems that in all of the years before, that the weather has been downright frigid and cold. We still go ... because, well, it is tradition and the kids look forward to it. But this year, the weather was mild -- windy -- but mild, and we were excited to partake.
Camo? Yes, Jack loves camo ... and in every color possible.
Listening to the rules at the start of the "hunt:"
Jack started along the perimeter of the lake, and you can tell by the ripples in the water that the wind was beginning to pick up in speed:
Sophia chose to travel right down the center and managed to fill her bag quickly:
Sam's strategy didn't work out so well for her this year; she focused so much on trying to find the few elusive golden eggs (which she did not find any of them) and then didn't end up getting very many small, plastic eggs for her bag. She has already vowed to change her tactic for next year!
Even Jimmy chose to get in on the action even though he is not walking yet.
Watching the kids gather eggs in the distance:
By the end, Jack was pretty happy with his loot:
There was a photo center set up with a few props and lots of bubbles:
Like I said, it was a very windy day and a great time to fly a kite. The kids had SO much fun!
