We are all Egg Hunted out!

First and foremost, Happy Easter Everyone!
Yesterday we got to go to two different egg hunts. It started in the morning at our house. The neighborhood has a hunt and it was fun to meet some of our neighbors. We had to fill our own eggs and mark some of them as "prize" eggs. The prize eggs were hidden at a house other than your own. Then the kids with your prize eggs would come to your house to collect their prize. And we would go to the houses that were marked on Emily and Casey's eggs. It was great until it started to rain. The kids were very happy with their prizes. They consisted of books, candy, body splash, toys and lots of Chocolate! The egg hunt in the neighborhood ended at around 9:45 and at 10:15 we left for our next hunt.
This hunt was held at THanksgiving Point which is an awesome place that has an IMAX theater, a musuem, gardens and a farm. We went with the Silvers. Doug works with Chris and he and Jolene have two kids. One who is Emily's age (Lily) and one Casey's age (Violet). The two youngest kids got to hunt for eggs first. They were already to go. We waited until the announcer said go and off Casey and Violet ran. That was until Casey wiped out on the grass and began to cry. I had to pick him up and try to grab eggs with Violet at the same time. He didnt have much fun. By the time the older girls were ready to hunt, Casey was ready to hunt again too. Emily and Lily were on the lookout for the golden egg. We had watched the workers spread the eggs out on the field and the girls thought they knew where it was. They had their plan of attack and when they yelled "go!" they were off like lightening. When it was over they didnt get the golden egg but it was within reach of them and a little girl grabbed it before they could get to it.
After the egg hunt we enjoyed sack races, horse rides, face painting and train rides. Right before we decided to go, we tried to spin the prize wheel from the local radio station. You had to pick a number and then spin the wheel, if it landed on your number you won a prize. Well, Emily went and didnt win. Lily went and didnt win. Violet went and didnt win. Jolene went twice and didnt win. Casey stepped up and picked number 11 and spun that wheel with such confidence and WON! That little stinker! He picked out a DVD as his prize since everything else was a little old for him.
We had a wonderful day with the Silvers. We even got to try out the deli at Thanksgiving point. It was AWESOME! The food was so fresh and the prices were very reasonable. After filling our bellies, it was home to warm up because it was so stinkin COLD!
