Easter Fun (Lots and lots)
















What a busy Saturday! Our subdivision hosted their annual Easter Egg hunts and the kids had a great time! In the afternoon Dave took all the kids to the festivities. There were egg hunts (only Matthew and Analiese participated), face painting, sack races, egg races (Grace and Sarah have AWESOME control!) and lots of crafts (and food!). As Sarah exclaimed, "and it was all FREE!!!" Boy, little does she know.....
In the evening I took Sarah and Grace to the "night egg hunt". Wow was it exciting! There were about 30 kids and approximately 500 eggs! The big prize was the "golden egg" with $10 in it! Sarah and Grace were so anxious to get started. The ladies who organized the event instructed the kids to check their eggs because they wanted a photo of whomever found the coveted $10 egg.
As each child came back with their baskets they opened and checked each egg. When Grace and Sarah returned they excitedly said that Grace found an egg with $4 but no $10 egg. The organizers were getting concerned...had no one found the "golden egg?".
We said our thank you's and headed home. Once we got home the kids opened each of their eggs. Sarah yelled, "I have $5, no wait, I have $10!!! Mom you have to take me back, I found the $10 egg." So back in the car we went, and by the time we got up to the hunt the organizers had turned on the tennis court lights to help the remaining kids find the "$10 egg"!
When we walked up to the remaining crowd and announced, "here's the $10 egg finder"--everyone was so happy, well at least the adults were! Sarah got her photo taken for the website and back home we went!
As soon as the kids all got in to bed, that darn bunny arrived and filled up all of the kids baskets--we can't wait for the morning!
