Saturday there were lots of Egg Hunts to choose from. We went to one at a nearby park. There were lots of kids and I was trying to tell (coach) B on how he should run about half way out and start grabbing eggs versus staying back with the pack. Well, what does he do, runs all the way out to the other end of the field before he stops. J on the other hand must have picked out one egg in the distance and took off for that one egg until he got to it. Neither one of them did very well at the first hunt. At the second Egg Hunt, it was hosted by a local church and they held it this year at a golf course. In an area about the size of 3 football fields they had put down 40,000 eggs (yes, that is 40K). The kids 'hunted' in age groups - otherwise it would have been utter chaos. They had face painting, cookie decorating, bounce house, inflatable slide, Easter Bunny, etc. One of the 'activities' was an inflatable used by a branch of the military for promos. Kids are put in a harness and then tethered to a rope. They start running and at some point the tension in the rope pulls them back when they have hit their limit. B really enjoyed this one. There was an estimate of 3,500 people at this hunt. There were so many someone finally called the police to come direct traffic! The day was absolutely perfect, about 60 and not a cloud in the sky.
Sunday morning we woke up and got a late start. B wanted to take a shower and I told him there were two options, either take a shower before church or hunt eggs. He chose the shower. After church we were busy getting lunch ready and then the boys played outside, J napped and by the time we got around to Easter baskets and egg hunt, it was 5:30 in the afternoon! Not the typical Easter, but great none the less. (I even got into the Masters and the excitement between Perry and Cabrera.)
Several pictures from the weekend!
