Hunting for Easter Eggs


The finished product!


Katelyn's Sunday School teacher Olivia paints an Easter egg on her cheek. K asked for a yellow egg.



Katelyn and DJ playing a ring-toss game.


And she's off...running to get eggs.


Every spring, our church hosts an Easter Egg Hunt at a local park for the community. You wouldn't believe how many families come out for this egg hunt...my best guess is 1,000 people. There were over 6,000 eggs for the taking. Free bounce houses, games, face-painting...plus free bottled water and popsicles (and we needed it...it was 88 degrees!). Bryan stayed home with a napping Brady while I took K to the egg hunt. Basket in hand, she seemed ready to gather eggs, but instead got so distracted with all there was to do there. I tried to keep her focused, and when her age group was called to the soccer field, she just ran, passing up many eggs. When she reached down to gather some eggs, she bumped heads with someone and stood crying while the eggs were scooped up by everyone else. Not off to a good start...but she really didn't care about getting candy and had a blast in the bounce houses with DJ and playing games with him, then we ended the trip with getting her face painted. It ended up being so much fun! And so nice to have girl time together :-)
