Easter Egg Hunt

This past Sunday we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt at church. It is always such a treat for the kids especially. It ended up being a cool and windy day for an Easter Egg Hunt but we braved the weather in search of some candy. After the morning worship service, we headed over the the BX for lunch. We stuffed ourselves on ham, mac and cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, and brownies and then we had to roll out the door to chase Easter Eggs!
The kid all lined up around the field and when the whistle blew they were off!The kids started out with a limit of 12 eggs per person to make sure everyone got some. After that, all the kids were able to run back onto the field and keep collecting eggs until they were all gone.

Once all the eggs had been collected the children were gathered in the middle of the field for a group picture.

We came home with enough candy to fill a gallon-size ziploc bag and enough Easter Eggs to use for our own Easter Egg Hunt next weekend. It was a wonderful way to kick off the Easter week and celebrate Palm Sunday.
