Snow!!!!!!
Annual Easter Egg Hunt at our neighborhood park this afternoon after church. Was fabulous! The girls brought their Easter baskets from last year and we got there just in time for the hunt. Julia missed her group so she went in with the 3-5 year old group with Riley. It was super cute watching the girls gather as many eggs as they could find. Took Julia a little bit of time to watch the kids and realize that she should put her eggs in her basket. Was so cute how she would pick each one up so gently and put it in.
Riley was very sweet to the kids near her and put her eggs in her basket. At the end, the kids were told to go back to their parents. Riley comes running to us, but Julia follows the other kids and runs through the taped off area far from us. So we asked Riley to go get her. Riley found her and Julia fell over and dropped the eggs out of her basket. Riley picked them up and then ran to us with the basket - leaving Julia behind. So then Julia followed Riley and Riley went back for her. Parents weren't supposed to enter the area and it was still small enough we could see her, but couldn't reach her. Guess that's what we get for pretending she was 3!
Madi's group came after the 6-8 year olds. It was 9 and up. She looked like she was ready to dash off at any second! haha... she gathered as many eggs in the basket as she could and then ran back over to us to dump them at our feet so she could get more. Repeated this a few times. Was awesome!
I think they got as much candy inside of those eggs as they got at Halloween. Which is interesting because we still have Halloween, Valentine's, Christmas and now Easter candy in their bags.
After the hunt, we went over to the hill at the park by the playground. The HOA had real snow/ice brought in and created a sledding hill. They provided sleds and had two tracks going. Was awesome!!! So the girls all got to go down the hill in the sleds. They absolutely loved it! I took Jules down and she giggled the whole way. Madi and Riley went by themselves twice and together once. Was so cute to watch them! It was amazing that the snow stayed for two hours on that hill considering it was 91 degrees outside. Truly the only thing this winter that was actually cold!
It was a really great day!
