Saturday morning (4/11) was the community easter egg hunt. The activity wasn't quite conducive to taking pictures. Problem number one was that the egg fields were separated by age groups. Nathan in one, Madison in the other. What is the problem with that, you say? We only brought one camera. No big deal, Scott took the camera with him to Madison's field, and a friend was with me at Nathan's field and snapped some pictures of him for me. Problem number two, a split second before blowing the whistle, the rules on Madison's field were that parents weren't allowed out with the kids. Oops. So Scott just shot some random pics hoping to catch Madison dashing around. Not good pictures, by any means.

That afternoon, we had a neighborhood hunt in multiple backyards. It's a fun group of kids and we hid the eggs so they had to actually search for them. Get ready, get set.....
GO! 
Go, Nathan, go!

Then, after Easter, the Community Center had an underwater easter egg hunt last week. It was so much fun! Man, was that chaotic! When the whistle blew, you should've seen the splashing that was going on as kids raced out into the water to retrieve their eggs. Madison got super brave and was diving down to the bottom of the pool to get the golden eggs that had sunk to the bottom. Once it was over, they exhanged their eggs for "money" to spend buying treats in another room. They also had carnival games and a bounce house set up.

Look! More eggs!!
Phew! Now that that's done...this post took me waaaay longer than it ever should have. Enjoy it, darnit!

I love that idea. We may try that next year.
Did she end up with some good underware ;)
don't you know it! Her drawers are stuffed! ;)
The Easter Bunny brings my girls new undies too! Looks like the Moore family got in every ounce of possible Easter celebrating. What fun!!!
Wow! What a fun Easter weekend. I love the group of neighborhood kids, you guys are so lucky! And how awesome that Madison can go underwater like that...how did she learn? Sure do miss Westerville and Dublin Rec Centers, what wonderful facilities. Thanks for your hard work in posting all this!
Jen- Hayley misread my earlier post about Madison's underwater easter egg hunt...she thought it said "underwear easter egg hunt" and was wondering what the heck kind of place has underwear easter egg hunts! So no, the easter bunny didn't actually leave underwear in their baskets...although if they were short on underwear, he most certainly wouldn't hesitate!
Thanks Khrystin- seriously, the post took more than an hour b/c blogspot wasn't letting me move the pictures easily for some reason. It took.so.long.
Ahhhh, since I throw away all accident undies and my child refuses to poop on the potty, we were in drastic need;-)
