Easter Egg Hunts 1 and 2

On Saturday, Gavin and Emery participated in their very first Easter egg hunt. This was our first activity with a new mom's group that I recently joined. Everyone was very nice and we all had a great time. Gavin was was VERY social.....He made the rounds to all of the adults, sitting in their laps and giving them hugs. When it was time for the Easter egg hunt, he was more interested in driving his matchbox cars. Eggs don't have wheels, so I guess he's not interested. :-)


He finally did pick up a few eggs.........so that he could throw them!


Emery, on the other hand got the hang of it quickly and gathered quite a few eggs. She was on a mission!

She kept taking Gavin his basket so that he could find some eggs! Look at how many eggs she has compared to Gavin.

The next day, we had round 2 of the Easter egg hunts. This one was with my Twin's Club. We got there just as the hunt was starting, so we didn't find many eggs and it was a MUCH more competitive group than the day before. Twins are vultures! :-) Plus, it was SOOOOO windy.......It was almost pulling the baskets out of their hands.

Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to see the chaos.

The highlight of Gavin's Day was seeing the Easter Bunny. I fully expected the kids to be scared of him/her (it?), so I wasn't going to push it on them. Continuing his social streak from the night before, Gavin LOVED the Easter Bunny! He was obsessed with her and didn't want to get out of her lap. I couldn't believe it!

A rare family picture......

After seeing the Easter Bunny, we played on the massive playground.......

And watched the other kids take a ride on the "trackless train". We decided against letting Gavin and Emery ride the train this year. The only adult allowed on the train was the Easter Bunny....... although, it would have been funny to watch the Easter Bunny running across a field chasing our kids.

A lot of twins......

Swinging while doing her "fake yawn"......

This is only about 1/2 of the playground. Like I said.....it's HUGE! We'll be going back to this park when it's not quite so windy. This is right in the center of a bunch of subdivisions. Could you imagine this being your neighborhood park when you were a kid? Holy cow!
