Our fabulous neighbors Nick, Felice, Henry, and Max invited us to their place for a small Egg Hunt. It seemed Miss A didn't remember the objective (despite a review on the way over). She stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. (Granted, her last egg hunt was a year ago, so I give the toddler a break.)
After talking her into picking up an egg (and there were eggs everywhere), she seemed completely satisfied with the one. As if, "Hey, I have a basket, some fake grass, and an egg. I think I met the goal."
Ah, then Dad steps in for a little coaching, and she's off like a rocket. Now the game gets fun! Check out the loot in that basket! Thanks again to The Carters and their friends for allowing us to join. It was a great start to the day.
Later in the afternoon, Gramma Patty came out for dinner and we had another Hunt in our backyard. Daddy was outside and said he saw the Easter Bunny hop down the hill really fast, and he wondered if maybe he'd been quietly visiting and left some more eggs. So we went to look. As you can see, EB left eggs all over the swingset, even on Blackie! In the words of Aleaha, "OH. MY. DOSH!"
This shot is funny because you can get a sense of how quickly she's moving by the flowing ponytail. She was running all over! (my excuse for the blurriness, too)
She was proud and happy. Fortunately, she never questioned how the very eggs that we had colored the day before happened to show up suddenly in the backyard under this mysterious story of a bunny that visited, placed eggs, and ran away.
