The morning started with having a tea party with Daddy
Then we went to the Provo City Easter Egg Hunt. I should have known it would be a bad idea because it was free.
Our kids were in different age groups 2 & under and then 3-5 so we split up. Eric took Gretta and I went with Eliza.
Just before they blew the whistle they reminded everyone that this was for the kids. After the whistle Eric saw a Dad dash out and pick up one of the golden eggs and then keep going and pick up a second one. For the kids right? Where was his kid? Eric never saw him?
Needless to say Gretta only got one egg and others had a full basket.
My experience with Eliza wasn't much better. Right after the whistle we moved forward at Eliza's speed, and that wasn't fast enough. All I saw after that were Dad's butt cracks as they bent down to pick up all of the eggs for their kids and boxed us out. Finally we were able to break through, but Eliza only got 3 eggs. She gave one to Gretta, so they each ended up with two.
Not quite the quality of the South Pas Easter egg hunt. They made you pay $5 a child, but they didn't let the parents help with the hunt and had lots of fun activities for the kids.
I don't think we will be going next year. Hopefully it won't be on Conference weekend and we will go to the one at Thanksgiving Point. Luckily we are having our own tomorrow.
Getting ready for the hunt.
