The Egg Hunt

We were able to do lots of Easter activities with our church friends this year, but shortly before the holiday I realized we hadn't really had the opportunity to spend time with friends that don't go to our church...or as I like to call them, our preschool friends. These are friends that started preschool last year so we don't get to see them during the week anymore for play dates. Young and I decided to have a little egg hunt the day before Easter and have our preschool friends over.

We were hoping for a warm sunny day, like the previous few days had been, but alas...we live in San Francisco...we got a somewhat sunny day but quite chilly. We still managed to have a blast with our friends and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the main activity of the day...the Egg Hunt!
Each family brought a dozen eggs filled with surprises, we collected them all together and had the dads hide them. The moms took the kids to the front of the house with sidewalk chalk...while the dad hid the eggs.

Then we let the kids loose! Some of the children has just had egg hunts the day before at their preschool, so they knew exactly what to do. Others, Timo, got a little confused about the process. He thought you found one egg, opened it, played with the toy surprise and then moved on to the next...poor fella. All the other kids ran circle around him and he only ended up with 4 eggs! He had just as much fun anyway..just not as many goodies.



Only Dads would hid eggs in a tree!!

Once the hunt was over, it was time to sample the goodies...some treats and some sweets!

In hopes of sunny weather, we planned a little cook-out afterwards...oh well, the food was tasty even if the weather wasn't sunny.

This is the end of my pictures even though the kids all ran around playing longer...I was starting to get really sick. I started having chills and aches, I just wanted to put my head down and sleep. After everyone left, I slept as did Timo and Cameron..so I knew something wasn't right. Timo and I both woke up with fevers and our Easter started going downhill from there...thank goodness we had the egg hunt before we all go sick!
