"Practice" Easter egg hunt

Saturday (3/22) we woke up to a few inches of snow...couldn't believe it. We had planned to take the kids to one of the many Easter egg hunts in town, but we weren't sure if that would be a good idea with the snow and cold or not. We changed our plans and decided to go to one at 11:00 (instead of 1:00) and it worked out GREAT!!! The church that put this one on did a great job! The shoveled out an area for the egg hunt, and had 5 or 6 different egg hunts based on ages. They also had free cotton candy, popcorn, and snow cones (funny to see those with snow all over too!). And there were carnival games and bouncing inflatables too! What a fun time! The kids played a few games, ate a few treats and then it was time for Ryan's egg hunt. He did good, got a few eggs and then told Chris "I have enough eggs"!! :) About 20 minutes later Hailey got to go. She said the same thing too...and we didn't want to get in where there were kids pushing and shoving for eggs. When we got back to our spots, she did share some of her eggs with her friend too that didn't get as many as she did (ahhh...what a nice friend you were Hailey!!). It was fun...and the kids enjoyed themselves. They were now ready for Easter Sunday!!!

First there were some games....


Then, Hailey waiting or her turn at the eggs!! and look at all the eggs they had! The church provided over 14,000 eggs for the hunt!!
