Community Egg Hunt

On Saturday morning, we headed to the Madison community wide egg hunt put on by the rec department. The kids were super excited that morning when we told them about it. I was anxious to see how Makinley would do because it was her first egg hunt. Tripp was an old pro by now!
Getting ready to go. Mak looks quite unhappy at having to wait! I was coaching Tripp. They had a lot of eggs right at the edge of the ball field. This particular hunt was really for kids 3 and under, but they let Tripp come in with us. I didn't want him to get all of the close up eggs and not leave some for the little kids, so I was telling him to straight for the back of the field near the fence.

About the only picture we got of Tripp. Once he heard "go", he was off! And he followed my directions and went straight for the back of the field!

I really like this picture of Makinley. I just think it shows how excited she was and how much fun she was having!

This isn't the most flattering picture of me, so I'm not sure why I included it, but I did.

Getting all the candy out of the eggs. Unfortunately, the eggs were filled with jaw breakers, now and laters, and other hard candy that I don't let our kids have (if you know me, then you know my fear of choking). The kids didn't seem to bothered by it though. They just had fun hunting!
