Last week, T's teachers sent home a flier that the local community college was having a massive Easter Egg hunt. I'm always game for a good egg hunt, so we decided to take the kids. When we woke up on Saturday, the sun was shining and it looked like a beautiful day. But it was a bit colder outside than it looked. Okay, actually the temperature was fine, but the wind made it seem really, really chilly. Forget Oklahoma, the wind comes howling down these plains. The flier said that events started at 9 am, which is when we got there (nothing short of a miracle) but the egg hunt didn't start until 9:45. Try explaining that to a huge group of 3 to 5 year olds when they can actually see the eggs...
S was content to do the crafts that were provided, but T was all about the eggs. We coaxed him to the petting zoo briefly, but I promise you that child has eyes in the back of his head, one of which remained fixed on the field of eggs at all times. We had some success distracting him when the Easter Bunny rode in on a fire truck -- I mean, really, who wouldn't dig that -- but T was content to wait by his age group egg field. What did surprise me was how into it all S was. She was fixated by the Easter Bunny and a really great sport in general about the weather and the wait.
Here are some pictures from the festivities:
