Neighborhood Egg Hunt

This morning our neighborhood had their first annual Easter Egg Hunt!  We had perfect weather today for an outdoor activity like that.  Today got up to 60 - woohoo!  Haha!  But it was really sunny which is a nice change for us from the rain!
This was Leah's first real egg hunt with other kids. Last year she was only 14 months so we put out a few eggs for her to find but she didn't completely get it. This year, she did.  The only problem was that the age groups were 1-5 and 6-12. So she was up against 5 year olds!  They were trying to keep track of how many kids came in, and said that there should be five eggs for each kid.  But once those kids started running, most of them were scooping up more than five.....Poor Leah only got ONE.  Then she was looking around like, Where are more eggs???  It was fine, we were able to distract her with the bubbles and sticker that were in her egg and Dustin even went and hid her egg one more time after all the other kids were gone.  I think she still had fun.  However, we are definitely going to do a big egg hunt tomorrow with our family and since she is the only kid, the eggs will be all for HER!  Can't wait!

Here are some pics from today (and yes, she insisted she keep her sunglasses on the entire time!) -
Excited and ready to go to the park for the egg hunt!

Playing on the swings waiting to start.

Little Leah was one of the smallest kids.

But she was focused and ready!

Ready, set , GO!

Found one!

Are there more??

Woohoo bubbles!

Pretty girl :)

Blow the bubbles Daddy!




 The Easter Bunny was there too! At first she was terrified and didn't want to go near him. But after awhile and seeing other kids go sit by him, she did too! But that was with Daddy's protection of course :-)

Holidays are getting so much more fun the older Leah gets!!

  2. O my word, her 'ready' face is too cute! Looks like a great time, but a bummer that she only got one egg. Im sure she got good and spoiled over the weekend :)
