Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday we went to the annual Easter Egg Hunt in Berrien Springs. They do a good job every year with lots of eggs, and prizes for everyone. Every year it seems that more people hear about it and there are more and more kids. It's organized very well, with the kids going in age groups and a designated place to sign in and turn in the eggs. This was the first year the weater was decent. Not pouring down rain or freezing cold.





Syd and Hayden were in the same age group this year. This is only the 8-9 year olds!





Syd has a white t shirt with purple sleeves, standing next to Hayden in a black tshirt closer to the right side of the picture.


The eggs are just thrown on the ground, so it's more of a scramble than an actual hunt.


They're off! (Getting pics of one specific kid in the sea of kids was not easy.)


Syd is actually right behind the girl in the jeans in this picture. My phone wasn't fast enough to keep with her running and scooping eggs.


There she is right by the tree. We told them the game plan was to run all the way to the back of the egg area and get those eggs while everyone else was still getting the ones in the front.


In less than 2 minutes all the eggs were picked up and it was time to get them counted and see what prize they got.


Syd got a bag of candy and some Uno cards. She was very pleased with both :)


And this is how you take a picture of two people in the same picture :)

I wish they would actually hide the eggs better...especially as they get older.
