Hunting

We have some awesome friends who threw together an Easter egg hunt the Wednesday before Easter at a local elementary school (it was Spring Break here).  Everyone brought twelve eggs for each of their children, then hid them near the playground (we had two groups--4 and under, 5 and up).  

Catherine enjoys playing on the playground while things the eggs are being hid.

Seth & Taylor, both looking thrilled to start the hunt.

I can't even remember why he was whining...it's pretty much a constant thing right now...

The 4 and under group getting ready to go

"I'll take...that one!"

"It looks nice and ripe."

"Yes.  I have made a good selection."

She was quite pleased to discover that there was candy inside her eggs.

I ended up stealing several wet wipes from a friend to clean off her chocolate-disaster face.

I was very impressed with Seth's egg-hunting skills.

As you can see from the above picture, the eggs were practically impossible to find (cough).

After collecting all 12 eggs, he immediately ate everything inside.

That's right--I'm the "get it over with" kind of candy Mom.

Thank you, Bente & Catherine, for a great time!
