Let The Egg Hunting Begin.....

Our Saturday morning before Easter began with taking a trip to little C's school for an Easter egg hunt for the community. We walked all the way to his school and back. A total of 3 miles! It was definitely good exercise :D When we got there we found many kids just as ready as my kids to find eggs and have a great time. They had an awesome set up. Kids ages 0-2 in one, kids 3-5 in another, and Elementary school kids were 30 min after the little kids. I was a little worried because this was Chris's first time egg hunting and unfortunately the group she was in (ages 3-5) had to look for eggs without the company of their parent. She had just seen Dora the explorer on TV the day before so I reminded her to just look for the eggs just like Dora did. She just answered with "OK mommy" and eagerly awaited everyone to do the countdown to begin

As the countdown began....my worries quickly went away because it turns out my child is a pro at egg hunting and as soon as the countdown hit 1 off she went to find her some eggs!

She ran around the whole park and came back with a basket full of eggs! She made her mama proud. Inside the eggs were coupons that could be redeemed for prizes and both her and her brother came back with lots of coupons that were found inside their eggs.

Next it was her brothers turn. He was in the elementary group and when the countdown came for them. They all took off and it was really funny because unlike the younger kids, the older kids cleaned up within minutes! It was really funny to watch, its like they would migrate from spot to spot all at the same time. He did really good as well and came back with a bag full of eggs.

The kids then went and redeemed their coupons and got some awesome prizes. They had tons of fun and were very excited. It was awesome to see the community come together and put something like this together. We will definitely doing this again next year :D
