The Hunt Is On

To kick off the Easter festivities we joined our fellow neighbors for an egg hunt. We were looking forward to meeting new people and seeing some of the ward members. The kids...well...they were just excited to grab the eggs. But before we left we made sure we laid out the game plan to the kids! The best way to not get trampled and get the MOST eggs, is to run all the way to the end by mommy and by-pass all the "first eggs". It always works great, and I get much better pictures!


The Robert's Family train down to the park.

A quick family pic as we settle on the "game plan".

Emma can't help herself and HAS to pick up
a few eggs along the way!

The egg scramble is a go!
Don't you love Emma's zebra shoes?

Ben picked up on the whole idea fast,
especially for a first-timer.
Although it was hard to get him to keep going!
He wanted to stop and open and EAT each egg.
What a boy!

Emma flashes us her loot!

Impatience written across the kids faces!
Let's get on with this!

Sydney is an expert!
"Dad, you hold the basket while I get the eggs!"
What a treat...a bunny to take photos with!
If only Ben would sit still for 2 seconds!
At home the kids were surprised to find that
the Easter Bunny had left some eggs in the
backyard for them!


I help Ben collect some eggs before the girls claim them all!

Can't pass up the chance for more EGGS!

Happy Easter. The family looks great in green. And what a perfect color choice since St. Patty's day was just a week before. You killed two birds with one stone!

Hahaha. Great strategy! My favorite picture is the one with the Easter Bunny. Ben was ready to sprint out of there! Looks like you've got a future Olympian in your hands. Hee.
