The Hunt is On...

For Easter Eggs.  When we got home from Arizona there was a flyer on our front door inviting us to the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt.  Kids 1-12 were divided into four groups, by age, and each age group was assigned a different house to attend.  If you were able to participate then you were suppose to drop off six eggs, either plastic with candy inside or hard boiled and decorated to your assigned house by Friday night.  We thought it would be fun for Drew so while I was at work Michelle and Nettie took him to find his eggs.  There were only six kids in his group and Drew wasn't very interested at first, but by the end he decided to go and find them.
















After the hunt they had various muffins and other foods that you could have for a 75 cent fee.  Michelle didn't think it looked very good so she opted to return home and have her own breakfast.

Michelle was also invited to attend her co-worker's neighborhood hunt as so her, Nettie, and Tina headed over to the East side of town and crashed the party.  About 50 kids participated in this event.  It was held in her backyard, which is very large and beautiful. 



The yard was split into sections and the kids were again divided into groups by age.  This time Drew knew what to do and got right to it trying to fill his basket. 



He enjoyed playing around and he even got to see the Easter Bunny and get some pictures with him.  Some of the nurses and one of the doctors that Michelle works with were able to attend as well so they made sure to get a picture all together.




Thanks to both friends and neighbors for making Drew's second year of Easter egg hunts a success.  By next year Drew will be a pro and we might even have the Easter Bunny drop a basket of goodies at our house for Drew to find.
