Easter Egg Hunt

Again this year we went to the egg hunt at the Montlake community center, though it was a cold and rainy Easter day.

Here we are, all raingeared-up while waiting in the gym for the events to get underway. In this photo you can get a pretty good look at the big welt under August's eye. He smacked it on his bedrail while horsing around two nights before, and it swelled up pretty good.

Auggie did much better than last year at picking up eggs. After an initial moment of being overwhelmed about which direction he should start off in, he really got down to business and filled his whole basket in just a few minutes.

Rose, on the other hand, was content to pick up each egg and then carefully
examine it and show it to Mommy before finally putting it in her basket. As a result, when the frenzy of egg-grabbing cleared, she still only had about a quarter of her basket filled.

Some of the plastic eggs had a prize ticket inside them, which meant you could choose something from the special table of goodies. Rose got this cute little umbrella, while Auggie passed over the more exotic prizes to choose this simple little basketball.
