Easter Egg Hunt

At church today Rylie did her first Easter Egg Hunt of the season. SHE WAS TOTALLY INTO IT. Seriously...we had to hold her back from going after the eggs too early, and she cried at the restraint. Two minutes can be a very long time to wait when you are staring at the prize!



Needless to say, as soon as the mass of kids got the green light, she was off! I had a few parents ask me, "Is she always this excited?" Love it. Her basket was full within minutes. Wow, what a difference a year makes! (Last year she was totally into the toys that the eggs were on, and not as much the eggs!) Eventually, we did have to tear her away from the playground where the hunt took place...which caused another round of tears! Ha. You would have thought she went through a war zone by the looks of her as we left the church. She has a scrape up her leg that was bleeding, an even larger scratch on her upper thigh, her face was all dirty, her hair was chaos, and the entire front of her dress was soaking wet with dirty water...after she did a super-man fall/dive into a puddle in the parking lot (before the hunt!) Alas, what a way to spend a Sabbath!
