Midland Easter Egg Hunt

This past Saturday, Pat's company hosted their annual Easter Egg Hunt. It started out with a light breakfast and a couple of cute crafts to make. Then the Easter Bunny arrived for photos, followed by the ages 0-3 Easter Egg hunt. Since it was rather rainy and cold last week, the hunt was actually in the aerobics room of the building-which doesn't really leave a lot of places for hiding, so the floor was literally covered in plastic candy -filled eggs and all the little ones had to do was fill their baskets to the brims. It was actually pretty intense. I think the parents got much more into than the kids did. There was a "Golden Egg" hidden among all the others, and whoever found it, received a basket full of goodies and toys(as if the candy from the Easter Rabbit and candy-filled eggs wasn't enough). After they said "go", I saw a guy drag his no older than 15 month old son across the room to the Golden Egg, I was thinking "this guy is crazy, it's only a game." Talk about getting too into the hunt. Then I realized I was telling Sophie " Stop eating the candy, just put the eggs in your basket, we can eat it later, you've got to get more eggs." Okay, so maybe I was getting a little too into the hunt as well...oh, well, I guess I can be a less competitive parent next year, but in the meantime we are enjoying the loads of chocolate that Sophie hunted for us!
