The Easter Egg Hunt

We had a glorious Easter Egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. It was a beautiful day, Wymount Quad 3 was the site. Rather than try to think of clever places to hide the eggs, I divided them up, put them in sacks, and had the kids hide them for each other - so Katie hid eggs for David to find, David hid for Richard and Jenn and so forth. It seemed to be the year of the tree. Dave hid one quite high in a tree for Ben to retrieve, Richard climbs trees like a goat would climb a mountain and hid cereal for Dave to retrieve. David propped up Dave to hide the "big one" for Richard (which by the way he knocked down with a rock - no fair!)

FINDING THE EGGS (OR CEREAL)!


The one Richard knocked down with a rock.






Melanie seemed to enjoy the hunt the most. I got such a kick out of watching her follow everyone as it was their turn to find hidden eggs. The audience requested popcorn as they watched the hunt. Carson and Granpa stayed in the house and rested.




Katie's hunting was particularly challenging. As you can tell she had to have a bit of help to get to where her eggs were. Thanks alot Ben!
