Egg Hunt

To kick off our Easter celebration, Friday Morning we headed to the park for a neighborhood egg hunt. The group was a bunch of nursery aged kids with a few older kids. (the other older kids are not pictured.)


When we first arrived Joe looked out at all of the eggs just thrown on the lawn and decided that this was going to be the easiest hunt of his life.

Then the mom in charge told the older kids that they were not allowed to pick up any eggs off the ground. Their eggs were hidden in higher places.


Joe was able to find plenty of eggs. Josh did pretty well for himself too.

I had already warned Emily as we drove to the park that the egg hunt was for younger kids and that it might not be vary fun for her. She decided she would probably just help Valerie find eggs.

When she found out there were harder eggs hidden for her she looked for them, but she still helped Valerie find some too. Valerie didn't understand at first, but after the first two eggs she started "finding" them on her own, and putting them in her basket. She didn't figure out there was candy in them until after the hunt.

Like I said before the hunt was geared toward toddlers, so the prizes were too. Joe and Josh loved the candy, but they happily gave their Dora stickers to Valerie and the other little girls at the park. I am so grateful to the moms who put this hunt together.
