Egg Hunting Season!

On Saturday, the families gathered at our house for Lauren's first Easter Egg Hunt at Pioneer Park. There were a lot of kids, despite the bad weather. Most all of them were in their raincoats and rubber boots.

Here's Lauren, relaxing in the stroller, getting ready for the hunt!


"There's nothing in my bucket yet!!!"

Daddy and Lauren with the rest of the family waiting for the "go" whistle! Aunt Emmy and Sam were in the same age group.

Ready.....Set.......

GO! "Hey Lauren, there's one right here!" Lauren wasn't interested. She just wanted to chase after the kids!

She found one! And after she found the one egg....that's all she needed! She'd put it in her bucket, take it out, show it to everyone, put it back and REPEAT!

"Hi Mommy, see my egg...it matches my jacket!"

Still packing around her egg!

Here Sam is hunting for the "Special" egg. It was a plastic one that you could exchange for a prize basket. And imagine that....VIOLA........

Sam found the egg and won the prize!

Sydney got her turn a few minutes later!

She found a lot of eggs....no plastic eggs...but it was a warm up for the next day at the Elks Club!


Once we got home it was time to eat and get in our dressy clothes! This is the only pick of Lauren in her dress that was even decent. She was a pill and needed a nap.....Badly! Nana made the girls dresses. Mommy had made a dress but it's way to big and will fit next year!

Here's the cousins in their party gear! Too cute.

Overall, I think Lauren had a good time. It was a good day for mommy and daddy too....we have an offer pending on our house! Sooooo...as long as everything goes well, this was probably the last family gathering in Browntucky! We'll keep you posted.......
