Let the Easter Egg Hunting Begin!

March 2013

 

We did lots and LOTS of hunting for Easter Eggs this year.  Tommy would probably say too much egg hunting, but I don't think that's possible for Jack.  The first hunt was by far the biggest.  It was held at the soccer fields that surround the FC Dallas professional soccer stadium.  All of the ads touted over 70,000 Easter Eggs and I wouldn't doubt it.  I really liked that they divided the fields by age, so all of the little ones had the opportunity to get some eggs without being trampled by the big kids.  Everyone lined up on the sidelines of the field and waited for the horn to signal that the made dash to the eggs could begin.  This was our view of the field before the hunt began: 

Jack wore his cap and carried his Lightning McQueen basket and was ready to go:

 

Livi didn't do much egg hunting, but was happy to be out in the beautiful weather:

The horn blew and Jack was off!  He's always so careful with the eggs he picks.  I had to hurry him along a little - it doesn't look like there were very many people in this picture...

But in a matter of seconds, it looked like this:

Livi got to play with some of the eggs that Jack had collected:



I love this action shot!

Mommy helped Jack open his eggs to see what he had gotten:

Finally, completely unrelated to Easter, but around this time, Jack also got very excited about painting.  We went out and bought him some paints, put him in one of Mommy's many Deloitte t-shirts, and let him go to town. 

Voila!  An original Jackson Mhire masterpiece!!
