We were fortunate to be able to have an Easter egg hunt today. They had cupcake decorating, egg dyeing, another craft I didn't get close enough to see, plus lots of yummy snacks. The Easter Bunny came and visited with the kids, and then there was an egg hunt.
Shortly after we arrived, Clara scampered off to see her friends and Zach was drawn like a magnet to the cupcake decorating table. While he enjoyed decorating, his favorite part by far was eating it.
Clara was a sweetheart and brought Zach a chocolate treat, which he promptly shoved it in his mouth. He looks like a chipmunk!
There's the Easter Bunny! Zach was unimpressed and never did approach him. Clara did it, but I missed it as I was bringing Zach around the corner from the craft stations. I tried to get her to do it, but she was adamant that she already did. A friend sent a picture of her with him, and she looked like she did it reluctantly...explaining why she didn't want to do it again.
However, Zach was willing to show off his mad dancing skills.
I was finally able to catch a picture of Clara. She was quite the social butterfly.
I boiled two dozen eggs this morning as we were told to bring eggs for the kids to dye. When it was time to leave, I asked each of them how many eggs they wanted to take Clara said nine while Zach wanted three. Easy enough. Clara didn't dye hers, but Zach had to dye his even at the risk of missing the egg hunt.
And they are off! Zach hunted with the big kids this year since he is now four.
As you can see, he fared well. They designed it so each kid would get twelve eggs, but regardless, I didn't help him at all and he found them on his own. I appreciated the way they did it. They keep the plastic eggs, the parents pitched in a certain amount to cover candy and after the hunt the kids emptied their eggs into their baskets and returned the eggs for use next year.
