So.. I braved the weather knowing we were going to get a blizzard here and took the kids to an Easter Egg hunt. Chris had to work, so I decided to take the kids out to see the Easter bunny and find some eggs. We started our morning out at McDonald's for breakfast. The three of us had a blast. Lily was a pro at finding the eggs. I don't know how she remembered from last year, but she did, and knew exactly what to do. Nolan learned very quickly to pick those little eggs up, or other kids, bigger kids, would come behind him and take them from him. Both of them had baskets full by the time we left. The lady from the local newspaper was following us around and taking pictures of the kids. She wanted to do a story on the hunt and asked if she could follow Lily and Nolan around. We will have to get that paper and check for the kids. She interviewed me for a bit then talked to the kids for a while. Super cool!!
We then, hit up the Oregon Easter egg hunt on our way home. The Youth center was sponsoring it so had a little kids carnival with games, tickets, face paintings, etc, followed by a egg hunt. Some of us preschool moms and bunco group moms, as well as some of our neighbors with kids, saw each other hung out there while the kids ran around played games, and hunted for eggs. We were a little disapointed though, that not all of the kids were able to get eggs. They ran out. Luckily we had hit up the egg hunt in the other town earlier, so my kids didn't mind. It started to get nice in the afternoon, and the egg hunt in Oregon was held at the school, so all the kids played outside for over an hour, enjoying the sun the had just come out. We had to get all our playing time in outside, because we knew it was going to snow another 5 inches here today ( we actually only ended up getting a dusting of snow and not the 5 inches they predicted) and they needed so fresh air, before we are cooped up inside again. Here are some pictures of our hunt. Sorry some of them are sideways. I couldn't figure out how to change these ones around, for some reason.
