Our community Easter Festival was just a quick stroller ride away, and it was nice to be able to walk down there, since the place was packed with hordes of kids. While standing in line to hold a spot for the toddler portion of the Easter egg hunt for 45 minutes, along with everyone else in town, I kept wondering why we weren’t skipping the madness and having our own pre-Easter egg hunt at home… but by then, the kids weren’t going anywhere! While I waited in line, the girls met the Easter bunny and tried out all the bouncy houses and carnival games, so I guess I wasn’t missing out on much.

Ready, set, go!

Not much of a hunt when the eggs are just scattered all over the grass.

This really needs to be more challenging, guys.

Once Meredith realized there wasn’t any candy in the eggs (just small toys), she dumped her entire basket out!

A volunteer helped her put them back, but she wasn’t really interested in keeping them!

No, really, I don’t want these!

For the older kids, they did several different “hunts” which you had to get tickets for in advance, so there wasn’t a line. Why they didn’t do that for the toddler hunt, I have no idea.
