Easter pics... a bit late, I know

For the second year in a row, we went to the Carney Park Easter Eggstravaganza. It was great fun, like last year with lots of kids activities, egg hunts divided by age group, and of course, the Easter Bunny him (her) self. Claire and Eloise sat on the Easter Bunny's lap (sort of an odd "tradition") and while they weren't scared of him, they were certainly a bit perplexed.


Claire, who had just turned three a week before the event, was put in the 3-4 year old age group for egg hunting. She was quite nervous, but thankfully, her friend Avery, who is nearly 5, held her hand through the whole thing and picked up eggs for both of them. Claire was pretty determined not to let go of either her basket or Avery's hand, so collecting eggs and candy was a tricky proposition. After a little while, she began to pick up some eggs... to accomplish this, she would put down the basket near an egg, pick up the egg, put it in her basket, and then pick up her basket. She would still not let go of Avery's hand, though. In the end, I think Avery collected most of the eggs for Claire, but it sure was cute to watch.

All moms and dads had to wait outside the fence, so here is mommy looking on with Eloise.

The results of the hunt!


Here is Claire and Avery with Avery's big sister Emerson and of course, Eloise after the egg hunt.

After the hunt was over, Daddy and Claire went on the Easter train and Claire jumped in the bouncy house and got a balloon animal.

She had so much fun that this is how she fell asleep in the car on the way home.
