The Egg Scramble

April 12, 2012 by Elaine

So, I was hoping to post pictures about our entire Easter, this morning.  But you know what?  I took so many damn photos that I like, even if you don’t that it’s gonna take a couple of posts.

I decided that I would just share the egg hunt the first egg hunt anyway, oh gosh, there’s just so much!  photos. 

In this case, there honestly is not a lot of “hunting” going on.  It’s more of an egg “scramble” as I like to call it.
See, my parents live right across from a soccer/practice field and a neighborhood park and that is where they lay out the eggs every year.  They are smart enough to do it by age group but they literally just toss a bunch of eggs out into the grass field and let the kids GO!, after they cut a string that holds them back, before it all begins.  
This year they also had pizza (at 10:30!?) and a bounce house.  I was impressed by the way the church who sponsored it handled everything and they even recycled the eggs and my kids gave quite a few back (Hallelujah!!  Thank the Lord!)
