Easter Egg Hunt

Gavin and Aiden attended their first Easter egg hunt last Saturday. Although they are still a bit too young to grasp the concept of looking for eggs, they seemed to enjoy crawling in the grass and picking up the eggs Ian and I conveniently placed within their reach.


The eggs were near, but the boys were too engrossed in the grass. Gavin liked the feel of the grass from the beginning while Aiden was a bit leery at first.


Will Gavin go for the hot pink egg or the equally interesting dead leaf? Hint: We pulled countless leaves out of his hands that afternoon right before they were going to enter his mouth.


Aiden reaches for the pink egg passed over by Gavin. He will next try to eat the egg, but realize two things: 1) Plastic is not too tasty, and 2) The egg is much too large to fit into his mouth. Darn.

Gavin and Aiden pose with their bounty, which would have included two more eggs except some pirate six year olds took them. The boys had been playing with two of the eggs in the grass when we decided to take a family picture a few feet away. When we returned to the basket we found 3 six to seven year olds debating whether or not the eggs in the grass were up for grabs. Ultimately they decided that they were. When the basket came up for debate we decided we better step in.
