Easter Egg Hunt 2010

Lincoln and Parker each had a friend over for hunting Easter eggs this year and all 4 kids really enjoyed it. I was impressed with what good sports they all were - no fighting over eggs, no tears, just lots of fun and cooperation and sharing candy. It truly couldn't have gone better.

The hunters:



The older boys mostly wanted to run as fast as possible from one side of the yard to the other - back and forth - "Oh, there's an egg WAY over there - let's GET it!" Which is why most of their pictures look like this:







But they did slow down long enough for us to take this one:



Parker just looked over the draft for this post and asked me to include the fact that he and his friend worked together "as a TEAM."

The younger two went about it all more slowly. However, I think they got just as many eggs (if not more) than the big kids... which reminds me of that story about the tortoise and the hare. :)





Don't these happy smiles make you think that they know who the real "winners" of the hunt were?



Todd hid one Golden Egg up on the roof - and since both big boys spotted it at the same moment, he lifted them both up to grab it.
