Easter Egg Hunt

Every year our church has had an Easter Egg Hunt at the park. It's open to the public, but ends up just mainly with church people this year. Probably because it was freezing!! It had been raining the day before and poured the next day. So, no cute easter outfits this year, but boy-oh-boy, there were a ton of eggs. Almost 2,000!! Thomas could hardly wait a moment later when we were home getting ready. We got out of the truck and all he could see were the eggs. He was so excited!! He had to walk past the sand where there were tons, past the grass where there were even more, and then past the playground, which was covered. He just stopped, pointed out several and told me about all the colors. He managed to not touch a single one. The torture only lasted about 10 minutes, which I 'm sure was forever for him!!

My parents came and joined us and had a blast watching all the kids go crazy. Thomas tried his best to play with Papa while waiting, but couldn't really sit still.

Check out that pained expression! He was trying to pray, but really wanted to run.

And off he went as soon as he was released!

We checked out every blade of grass!
It was a great morning! Fun was had by all. The lunch that followed was yummy, too. A fun way to fellowship with church before coming back together to celebrate that HE HAS RISEN!
