easter egg hunt #1: veteran's park

Saturday morning we headed out to Veteran's Park to check out the community-wide egg hunt.  It was really chilly that morning especially with the wind blowing off of the lake.  The girls had to wear their heavier jackets that morning.

30 minutes prior to the egg hunt, they had us all gather in a baseball field with promises that it was to begin any minute. Because expecting 2 to 5 year olds to be patient for that long really is feasible.  I was just waiting to hear, "Mommy, I need to go potty!"  Thank goodness that didn't happen!  The girls had fun on their first official mass easter egg hunt.  

Waiting to start.  It looks like a crime scene...

When the egg hunt first began, it was mass hysteria.  Emma was a tad bit frightened.

She got over it pretty fast.

Ava slinging her basket over her shoulder like a purse.

Ava only got one egg during the whole hunt.  I had to stand over it an guard it from other kids and parents so that Ava could get it.

The prized possession, her one blue egg.
