Egg Hunt

Saturday before Easter we had two Easter egg hunts. The first one was a large community egg hunt that was across the street at Isak's school. It was completely free and so it had a huge crowd and as a result, there were not many eggs to find. Isak managed to get three and Lucy didn't get any. Luckily she did not mind too much and I went home and let her find a few eggs in the yard and she was perfectly happy with that. It was gorgeous weather though and warm enough for our kids to play in the sprinkler afterwards.

In the afternoon we had a big Easter egg hung for some friends and family at Kevin's parents house. This is the second year we have done this and it has worked out really well. We have everyone who participates bring a dozen eggs per kid then everyone finds about a dozen eggs. We always have a lot of extra and let the kids go find more after we know everyone has found at least twelve. 

 I was scheduled to work Saturday night and knew I wasn't going to be up to taking pictures Sunday morning so I put the kids in their clothes Saturday before the egg hunt and tried to make them cooperate.

They were pretty good, although Lucy had just drenched herself in the sprinkler so all I could do with her hair was a top knot on her head. And they are all wiggly and never want to all look in my direction at the same time so I think I got two maybe three decent ones. Good thing I'm paying someone else to do all this for me next week!

 We had a great turnout with about ten families that participated. It took me about 20 minutes to hide all the eggs and towards the end I just started throwing them randomly all over the grass.

 We let the little kids go first, followed by the older kids who had to run and touch the mailbox before they could start hunting. We caught Isak about three minutes in with about 25 eggs in his bucket so we made him go run and rehide some of them.

 Kids got quite the haul and I'm pretty sure they ate the majority of it as they opened the eggs. Talk about a sugar overload.

 Edyn wandered around and picked up a few eggs and would eat the chocolate out of them if she could find any.

We had really warm weather and finished up the day by getting ice cream at our super awesome Fruiteletas store.
