Egg Hunt

The day before Easter we went to a nearby church to participate in their Easter Egg hunt.  We started things out with popcorn and lemonade.

Then killed some time waiting for the correct age group hunts.

Miles' time came first.  His hunt was inside in a classroom... 

There were a lot of 4-6 year olds and that hunt was over in about 1.3 minutes!

Before we went in, Miles heard the announcer ask that you return your eggs to the bins and take the candy home.  Miles misunderstood this and as he hunted eggs, I realized he was dumping the candy out and leaving the eggs behind!  Ha ha!!

He was proud of his stash.

Which he enjoyed some of while we waited for Cooper's turn.

Soon, Cooper was lined up and ready to go.

His strategy was to run to the back and start grabbing eggs before the other kids finished the front lines...  he was long gone in a matter of seconds.

And his plan worked, he scored quite a few eggs!

So they checked out the loot and emptied the candy to return Coop's eggs.

And came across one of the prized pieces of paper that meant Cooper got to redeem an Easter basket from inside!  The sun was in his eyes here, but he was ecstatic about it!  He still talks about how fun it was that he got that piece of paper.

Eggs collected and returned, candy in their buckets, we headed home.

Miles with all the candy in his bucket and Cooper with his new bucket full of goodies!
