First Easter Egg Hunt

This weekend was R and R's first ever Easter Egg Hunt, yay! We went over to A's house and she had the cutest little Easter set up ever. She had a little station complete with bags with bunnies, chicks, etc. on them and the kids decorated their own bags with little markers. After a quick lunch, it was hunting time.




All of the kids were lined up and chomping at the bit, except for R that is! He was a little confused as to what the commotion was all about. We sang a little "going on an egg hunt" song and he got into it a little more. We saw a green egg and he placed it into his bag and began looking for the next one. Whoa, another green one--we are really on a roll now. I point out egg #3 to him and he reaches for the big pink one by the bush.
He grabs it, then drops it like a hot potato and runs over to me as if I should have known better than to have him pick it up. It was filled with coins and I guess the weight and clanking scared him. That was about the extent of his hunting, but he did play with other things that she had set out for them. He was excited again when he realized that his two green eggs have candy inside.

The "big" kids had a separate section where the eggs were hidden a little more, including a few prize eggs. If we were at Maw-Dines, he would have won the prize for the fewest eggs ;0).

After the hunt the kids went upstairs to play together in S's playroom where R gravitated toward the cars--shocking! We ate cupcakes with eggs on them and she gave the R's little goodies bags filled with Easter candy, etc. All in all it really was a great day!

And for a bonus, we stopped to look at cows on the way home--she lives in the country. He loved them and didn't want to leave. The entire ride home he kept asking for "more cow".
