We're Going on an...

Easter Egg Hunt and we're not scared. (Sorry Owen and I have been We're Going on a Bear Hunt all week and it's stuck in my head.)

Friday the 15th Owen participated in his first Easter egg hunt. I helped organized a hunt at my friend Caron's house since I didn't have a yard big enough. We invited all the moms and kids from HOME club to come over to hunt and have lunch.

Waiting to get started...

Caron entertained all the kids with the real Easter story and some fun songs while Angela and I hid the eggs.

Owen started out great...
His friend Jade..

Brennen excited about his find...
Owen was doing great until he realized there was candy in some of the eggs. Once he made that discovery, he was done. He sat with his basket and opened all the eggs and ate the chocolate. I finally had to take the candy away so he wouldn't get sick.
Finally got him to hunt more..
Mommy, why do you keep taking my picture?

Our lovely host Caron and her daughter Katie (Owen LOVES Katie and talks about her all the time)..

After the hunt, we had a fun picnic lunch and the kids played some more. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun to just hang out together. Maybe next year, we can get Owen to look past the candy!
