Easter Egg Hunt

Instead of doing the whole Easter egg hunt thing on Sunday we had a HUGE Easter egg hunt with the Evans family, some friends of ours from our ward the following Wednesday. We thought that the kids would enjoy it and we could take advantage of the cheaper Easter candy. I have to say though, Tiffany and I were disappointed in the selection that was left, but we still got some of the good stuff.

Scott and Tiffany went all out and filled 50 eggs with candy and then got larger bunnies, etc to throw out on the ground. I felt bad only showing up with the 12 eggs I filled and some extra if needed to help fill more eggs, but Tiffany assured me that it was okay.

It took Addi, Katie, and Paul a long time to find all the eggs and candy we threw out on the ground, but it was so much fun! It took Addilyn a while to grasp the whole "pick up the egg and put it in the basket" concept. Once she got it she became more interested in finding out what was inside the eggs or what everything tasted like and the wrappers didn't stop her. Several pieces of her candy had bites taken out of them. There was so much candy for all of the kids, their baskets got to heavy for them to carry. Katie's basket was so full she was dragging it across the grass. It was so cute!



After our egg extravaganza we flew kites outside we purchased from Walmart for only a $1 and they actually worked. Scott and George had them flying for a while, but the wind wasn't very cooperative. Addi, Katie, and Paul loved it!

Afterwards we all went inside and ate some of our bountiful collection of sweets. The kids were sticky and covered with chocolate, but oh it was soooooo good. Thanks Scott and Tiffany for inviting us to share in this Easter fun with your family. I'm sure you got some better pictures than we did and I hope you don't mind me posting some pictures of Katie and Paul. It was lots of fun!
