Egg-celent!

Like last year, we went back to the same egg grab festival that we went to last year. This year Nicole could attend as well! As I remember last year was warm, a good day, maybe even a bit hot. I dressed the girls in nice spring-y clothes thinking about it. Then, Woody pointed to the thermometer and showed me it was in the 40s. Yikes! It warmed up to about 50, but the wind was whipping like a winter day. And, I had decided not to carry my coat since the girl's stuff loaded me down like a pack mule. But, I wanted that warm coat after we got out of the car. Burr!! I talked Woody into going back into the car for a while after we bought tickets. It was a nice 10 minutes of warm while the kids got ansy, but played in the minivan.

We then got out and melded with the huge crowd ( a lot more people than last year! ). We found the Easter bunny first. Nicole didn't care for him either (just like Clifford I guess, funny dressed up person gets a no from Boo-Boo). But, Natalie had fun getting her Easter bunny picture with Nicole & Woody.

Then, the fun started when Grandma & Grandpa showed up while we were waiting in line for the bouncy. Reinforcements!

Both girls liked the bouncy. Nicole was safe in there for a while, but we had Natalie bring her out when bigger kids got into the bouncy. But, they got a fun time for a couple of minutes!

Then, off to pet animals. The rabbits were probably their favorite to pet, although they petted quite a few animals!

Nicole liked chasing the goats best! We were doing this then heard that the egg grab was about to begin!

Grandma & Grandpa went with Natalie while we stayed with Nicole (different age groups). There were thousands of eggs on the field! Nicole did great and grabbed about a dozen before the bigger kids appeared quickly on the scene. It was probably over in about a minute, it seems!

Natalie found Maggie, her friend, there. It was great they could visit during all the waiting times!

The girls together, enjoying a Tootsie Roll. Most of the eggs held a Tootsie Roll. However, we thought we had opened all of them. You are supposed to check before you leave. When I got home, I found Natalie's had a first place prize ticket in there. Ooops! She would have loved winning something, but that is how it goes!!

We had a great time and loved spending time with Grandma & Grandpa. It made for a really special day!!
