On Sat. April 11, 2009 I took the kids to the Easter Egg hunt at Pepperwood Park. Grandpa was able to go with us and experience the fun! They had sectioned off the big park into different age groups. Ethan and Eli were in the 0-3 yr. old group where there were probably a couple hundred eggs all over the grass just waiting for the little kids to scoop them up. Ethan had been practicing his Easter egg hunting skills with the numerous egg hunts we have done in our backyard. He performed just as he had practiced - excellently. He left the park with an Easter basket overflowing with eggs. Eli also did well, but he had more of a strategy than most kids. When they opened the area for the young kids to gather eggs, Eli went the other direction to where the eggs were waiting for the older kids' hunt which hadn't happened yet. Eli had his own little private Easter egg hunt. We were pretty impressed with his ingenious plan until someone in charge came over to inform us that those eggs were for the older children. Oops - oh well, we all had a great time. Then we even got to top off the great Easter egg hunt with Krispy Kreme donuts. Pepperwood doesn't do anything half way!! The Easter Bunny even showed up for pictures. I love the picture we got. Mommy is smiling and both kids are looking very wearily at this large Bunny standing next to them. It was a great way to start our Easter weekend.
You are so cute Bethy!!!! You're so much fun. It's cool that you research this stuff, like easter egg hunts, so that your kids can have fun memories. You have two lucky little boys. Love ya cutie
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool park - and awesome easter egg hunt! I bet your boys were in heaven. Oh, and dying your easter eggs looks like a blast, too. I also have fond memories of dying Easter Eggs. It's just so fun to be creative, and even more fun to watch your kids enjoy it.
