Egg Hunt!

On Saturday morning we took the kids over to the BPPC Spring Celebration. Boulevard Park Presbyterian Church (BPPC) is the church where my MOPS group meets. This was the first time we've ever taken our kids to an Easter Egg Hunt. But it was SO much more than just that!

They had all sorts of events set up for the kids....bubbles...coloring stations...carnival games...and more!

They had the egg hunt set up by age groups. I took Jack and Ella over for the 0 - 3 age group. I got Ella out of the stroller, but she just kept falling over because the ground wasn't flat so I put her back in when the egg hunt was actually going on.


When they did open the egg hunt it was chaos and it was over like *snap* that! :)

Jack ended up getting one egg and a peanut butter cup. He was really happy about it except he really wanted a green egg.

Owen's age group started 5 minutes after Jack and Ella's so I got there just as they were running out. Daddy had a good strategy...he had Owen run ahead of the pack in hopes that it would take them a while to get the eggs right in the front. Owen ended up getting 5 or 6 eggs.

Checking out what they got inside their eggs. One of the cool things they did was if you recycled your eggs they would give you more candy...loved that!

Since the celebration was right across the street from the church at a local park the boys also go to play on the playground. Jack really wanted to swing and I wasn't thinking he would get to since there were SO many kids there, but one finally opened up. He swung on it for about 30 seconds!

Owen loves these slides for the older kids. Michael was watching him go down and he said he did a better job than some of the older kids.

On top of fun games and an egg hunt there were also refreshments. We had donuts, fruit, juice boxes and popcorn. Did I mention the whole event was FREE! Ella is our cute little popcorn eater. I swear I would have never let Owen eat popcorn this young...she's been eating it for months now, but I guess that's what happens when it's your third child!

The boys also got to enjoy the bounce house...for a little while that is. Daddy had told Owen that when he was ALL done with bouncing that's when he needed to come down the slide, but he didn't really get it. After bouncing for about 2 or 3 minutes he went down the slide and said he wanted to go again. Sorry dude...we are not standing in that line again!

After that we were all kind of a little tired and ready to. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to be outside celebrating with the kids.

This was my view on the walk back to the car....what a tough life! ;)
