Easter Egg Hunt

 

One of my favorite traditions is the town Easter egg hunt. This was our third year attending and the town does a great job. It seems the weather never wants to cooperate though! Our first year there were tornado watches and they had to hold the hunt in the community center gyms. The second year the rain held out just long enough for the egg hunt and then down poured the rest of the day. This year the weather was a tad bit warmer than the days proceeding it, but still very chilly. Nonetheless we bundled up and got our hunt on.

They distribute all the eggs on two separate fields (younger and older kids) and then at 10 sharp they blow the horn and in a matter of seconds it is all over. It was Luke's birthday so he got a free pass to go play basketball and not 'endure' the crowds and the family time. ;) Jordan did a great job and gathered lots of eggs...Abby on the other hand did not want a single one. I even cornered one just for her and she sat down and started crying. Maybe next year. Jordan had fun but was a bit disappointed that there were no golden prize eggs (budget cuts?) or candy this year--just little toys. Fine by me. :) Now I just have to wait a few days for the novelty to wear off and then all the toys will be gathered up and taken to goodwill.

Happy Easter!
