There were hundreds of kids there and the field was covered with eggs! We found a spot behind the yellow rope and waited for the "hunt" to start. Both Shane and Jackson had their bags and Daddy instructed them to run to the back because that is where all of the eggs are! So when they said go, everyone (including daddy) took off. Mommy hung back because I figured this was a kid thing and the parents shouldn't participate. Well I was wrong. All of the parents went with the kids. I still stayed back until I saw Jackson fall face down into the mud and Shane and Daddy were no where to be seen.
Jackson was crying, I helped him up, and by this point he wanted nothing to do with the Easter Egg hunt but I encouraged him to look for some eggs but my bad b/c there weren't any left! Ouch! Thank goodness Daddy did go out to the field and pick up some eggs! So we put some eggs in Jack's bag and for a moment he is satisfied. Daddy stays with Jack and mommy goes to find Shane who is aimlessly walking around the field crying- when I got to him, he was with another mom- she thought he was lost when in fact he was crying because he didn't get enougth eggs! The crying continued for about 15 minutes. There was an 8 egg limit per child and some kids got 20+ eggs so their parents did make them share which was very nice so when it was all said and done each of our lovely children got about 5 eggs- thank goodness.
When the tears were done we played at the playground and saw the Easter bunny,visited with some friends from school and then headed home. It was a long hour! Mommy will post some photos this weekend.
Easter day was fun at Nana's- Uncles Adam and Dave were there and it was so nice out we played in the back yard with the new baseball gloves the Uncles gave them ! The Easter Bunny left an Easter egg hunt at Nana's house for them and they even got a trip to the play ground- it was a great day. The only down side was that we didn't face time with our cousins, but we will catch up with them at some point!
