Egg Hunts #2 & #3




I took the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt at a local park with my mother-in-law on Saturday (4/11) morning. My mother-in-law sat with 2 kids while they colored Eater pictures, while I brought the third kid to their age hunt. All the kids had fun. They even did a parent’s egg hunt, so we had the kids sit to the side while me and my mother-in-law ran for Easter Eggs. It was actually fun to act like a kid again! Philip won the coloring contest for best coloring based on age level. He got a box of sport-themes plastic eggs filled with treats. We had to register when we got there—and they drew my name for an Easter Basket.

We then drove the kids to my friend’s church where they throw a big Easter Eggstravagnza every year. They have free hot dogs and cokes, rides and an ongoing Easter Egg Hunt by age group. We ate and then took Philip and Nico for their hunt. They were in the same age group, so they hunted together. When they finished we took Oksana to her hunt. With the hunts out of the way we did the rounds of rides. I took Nico on some kiddie rides while my mother-in-law stood inline with the two older ones for the big kid rides. On our way out the kids got to meet Scooby Doo and Hello Kiddie.
