Egg Hunts

Ruthie was a full force egg hunter this year. She loved it! The Wednesday before Easter we had a spur of the moment egg hunt at Mother's house with Kaylee and 2 of her friends. At that time they were predicting rain for Easter weekend and we didn't want to miss the annual hunt. Ruthie did all the hunting the first round, then we hid them for Kaylee and the girls for them to find

This was the funniest part of the afternoon. After Kaylee and the girls had finished hunting their eggs, they sat down to have a picture made. They had a fierce competition going for who had found the most. Ruthie took full opportunity of them taking their eyes off of the their baskets and starting throwing them. They were scrambling all over the place trying to gather them back up because they had not done their count yet. Ruthie thought this was hilarious which made her continue to toss them every time they just about had them all picked up. We laughed and laughed. She is such a character.

On the Saturday before Easter, we went to the local hunt at the park. Ruthie had just as much fun watching the other children and she did picking up eggs. They had eggs everywhere. She ended up with 44. She could have had more, but I decided we needed to go ahead and count what we had and check for prize eggs. She didn't get a prize egg, but she came home with $0.85 and tons of candy.
