So Easter turned out to be a lot of fun for the girls this year. Unfortunately I had to work the actual day, but we did all kinds of fun things leading up to that day and even afterwards. The girls practiced for weeks doing mini easter egg hunts. I think to them finding Easter eggs was more exciting than opening Christmas presents.
We actually attended two Easter egg hunts this past year. One was the annual Beach Waterpark Egg Hunt. This was the week before Easter. Each year more and more people attend. There were hundreds of kids there and it ended up being quite a let down. They had a section of eggs for kids 4 and under - you can only imagine how many kids were 4 and under. I brought two eggs from home and it is a good thing I did because in total Sarah and Emily found 3 eggs (including the 2 from home). It was so sad, Sarah kept saying, "Mommy, I didn't do very good."
The girls did like the animals there though, and also the inflatable jumping thing. The second egg hunt was at STM Church. Completely different story from the Beach. There were 300 eggs for the kids ages 3 and under. In total, there were maybe 15 kids in that age group. Sarah and Emily filled their baskets 3 times each and actually asked to stop before all the eggs were collected. Dan is still working on their candy.
They even won some prizes - one of which happens to be a large pink bunny rabbit bigger then either girl! Too fun. I think they will enjoy the holiday for many years to come.
