Easter Egg Hunt

This past week Ethan and I have been having practice Easter egg hunts around the house in anticipation of the big event. I would scatter eggs around the house and then he would go around the house and find them and put them in his basket. He just loved finding the eggs. So, Saturday the first of our two hunts arrived. We went to an easter egg hunt sponsored on base. The navy base spread 12000 eggs in a huge field. The field was just covered with them. So, when they opened the gate, Eric took off running with Ethan to get eggs. Here are two little videos of the hunts. The first one is from Saturday and the second one is from an easter egg hunt we did with our neighbors on Sunday.

As you can see from the video, our training didn't pay off entirely. Ethan was hilarious because he would pick up an egg and there would still be several eggs around him, but he would walk 10 feet or so to another egg he saw. I have to admit, I picked up a couple of eggs for him because other kids were about to get them. We had such a fun time and Ethan just loved doing the easter egg hunts.

It is hard to tell from this picture, but that baseball field was just covered with plastic easter eggs. It was unbelievable. So, they had put out 12000 eggs and within 10 minutes the whole field was picked clean and everyone was headed home--it was unbelievable!



At the neighborhood easter egg hunt, in the middle of the hunt, Ethan noticed the neighbors had a slide and took off to play on the slide...I guess he was all egged out!
