Easter egg hunt




Now a tradition in our family (since this is our second year of doing this), we went to the local city Easter egg hunt. This one took place at one of the local sports fields. They also had some little games and bouncing toys for the kids, as well as fire trucks, fire clowns and people dressed up as easter bunnys (I was a little confused because I thought there was only one). Lindsay wanted nothing to do with any of those things. We tried, but no go. She even stood in line for the little golf game and when the lady tried to hand her a club, she freaked out. After waiting for an hour and a half, we worried that she was going to back out of the whole deal. Lance had to drag her into the hunt when the siren sounded. But it only took a second for her to realize what fun it would be to pick up candy, bags of crackers and mini-boxes of cheerios off of the ground. Her hesitation, however, did cost her any chance of getting an actual egg. So next year? We will try again hoping that someday, Lindsay will actually enjoy the big hunt. This was the last year that both Lance and I get to stay in one place, because next year, one of us will be graduating to the three to four year olds group.

Is it sunny, or windy, because Lance is squinting in both pictures? They have crackers and cheerios? Easter must come early in Tecas. How fun.

It was overcast and windy, but very warm and muggy. Lindsay's face shows the horror of being taken to see the firemen in their big truck. Don't know why it was so early.
