The Great (and Freezing Cold) Easter Egg Hunt of 2009

On the Sunday the week before Easter, we went to an Easter egg hunt at the church (King's Way). I was so excited, because all week everyone had been talking about the plan to drop 6000 eggs out of a helicopter. They called it an "egg drop." Creative name, huh?

Well, on the day of the hunt, it was reallllllllllllly cold. In the 30s. And the wind was blowing really hard. 20-30 miles per hour. So Daddy got us dressed really warm for the Easter egg hunt. Doesn't Sissie look warm?

Because it was sooooooooooooooo cold, the church had some craft stations inside while we were waiting for the egg hunt. I colored some Easter eggs (with Daddy's help). I did one yellow one with stickers and one yellow and green egg.
Then Daddy and I decorated an Easter cookie. It took everything I had not to eat the icing....


I put my eggs and cookie in my Easter basket and I was ready to go. Ready to go find some eggs!


Daddy and I designed a fancy cookie. And then I ate it when we went home!


Then it was Easter Egg hunt time. Because I am little, I didn't participate in the big boys' and girls' Easter Egg hunt. Instead, I got to do an egg hunt with all the kids who were 2 and under. In that group, I was one of the "big boys."
And we were off. How many eggs did I find?

Well, I found one of the eggs on the Hippo's back. That Hippo is lucky that I didn't jump on his back and ride him like a horse. Well, anyways, after I found the Hippo egg, I started finding all kinds of eggs. They were everywhere!




One proud egg wrangler! And every egg had a special treat inside.


Since it was really cold outside, everybody else went inside as soon as the egg hunt was over. But not me. I wanted to play bus driver. Daddy had to talk me into going inside.


Nothing like a cookie at the end of a cold, hard day's work....


The only thing that can beat a cookie is a clown. And they had two clowns who took turns talking to and playing with all of the kids.


Thanks for participating in our egg hunt!
