A Hop on the Easter Season

On Saturday, the kids got a jump start on the Easter season with two egg hunts. The first was a MOPS-sponsered egg hunt at a friend's house. It was an early start to our day so some of the kids were still wearing their pajamas. I love how you can see in the picture that one of the little boys is already stealing another little girl's eggs out of her basket. Ha ha!!


When you take three kids out of the house by yourself and one of them is not walking yet, poor thing gets strapped into a stroller and just has to enjoy herself in the stroller. She did not seem to mind too much!!!



The egg hunt started. They tag-teamed and got lots of eggs.



The hunt was at 9:00 and it was misting and foggy and cool. After this picture, Jillian said, "Mommy, I do not like this weather. I am getting all wet and I am cold. I want to sit in the car." Such an awesome attitude. Rocco was not far behind so we left quickly.



BUT then on to egg hunt #2 at this awesome place!!!! (and the weather was MUCH better!)




Oh my goodness, does this employer know how to put on a show. There were train rides......







There was face-painting! This was their first time and both kids LOVED the face-painting. They wanted to get more and more!!!


Jillian picked a pink rose.






Rocco picked a blue dinosaur.



There was a great big slide.


There were lots of jump houses.




There was a petting zoo. This girl went NUTS over the baby chicks.




This boy was of course, more timid but he really liked petting the rabbits.



Then it was time to hunt for eggs!!! This was a serious hunt with several hidden tickets in the eggs for a "grand" prize. At the starting line.....



Daddy helping Roc look through his eggs.



No grand prize winner but each egg was filled with candy, stickers, bracelets, crayons so they were very happy!!!!



We had so much fun!!! We have more egg hunts scheduled for the next two weekends!! I am tired just thinking about it!!
