Barnes Park Easter Egg Hunt

We have always headed up to Hyrum for the annual Easter Egg hunt with my sister and her kids. Blast them for moving away! We had to find our own hunt this year, and you all know how much I love to try new things....not! There were 3 hunts withing a few miles of my house, we opted for the one at Barnes Park, and I figured it would be insane. It was. But managably so - they were really organized. They have 4 ball diamonds and had thousands of eggs in each, so even though there were hundreds of kids they all had a good amount of eggs.

Max, anxiously awaiting the start. Which the announcer said 1 minute left! and all the kids took off, it was kind of funny.

And they're off!

Grace was all smiles, she did really well and got a nice haul. Max on the other hand slow motioned falling down over his first egg, picked it up and slow motion slam dunked it in his basket, and then he pretended to run to the finish line. Yep, he's my goober.

I didn't know what to expect so I had a dozen eggs in a jacket pocket, I didn't want my kids to be the sad kids who didn't get any eggs. Mine had coins inside and Max loved shaking the ones with money. I'm a great mom, just ask me.

I tried so hard to get a couple cute pictures of them after the hunt - but they can't look at the camera at the same time to save their lives.

If my sister is still in California next year, I'd go there again - it wasn't bad at all.
