Easter Egg Hunt


Yesterday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at This is the Place park. They had it separated into age groups which was a great idea. There were a ton of people, so I didn't know how Hailee would do or if she would just freeze since there were a bunch of kids. We got to the spot that was the 0-3 year old and she was so excited to see all the eggs that we on the ground and wanted to go get them all. They said go and I told her to go get the eggs and she took off and started to collect them. I don't think that the parents should have been able to go, a lot of parents were just grabbing eggs and carrying them to their kids. It was over just as fast as it began. With all the kids that were there, Hailee made it out with 6 or 7 eggs which was fine. They all had candy and toys in them. They then were giving out free popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream. We were standing in line for the treats and there was a little boy behind us that was crying, the lady asked where they could go if their kids didn't get any eggs, so I explained to Hailee why he was crying and that he didn't get any eggs, so her and my nieces gave the little boy some of their eggs. Such a great teaching experience for Hailee, I had her give him an egg and she was so willing to give another egg to share. I was such a proud parent to see her willingness to share to make someone happy. The whole park was free, so we walked around and looked at the park. Hailee told me that she wanted to see the animals and " it would make me so happy" if she could see them. We had such a great time and even though it was really crowded, it was still fun!!
