Egg Hunts

Yesterday, we took my parents and the chicklets to an egg hunt. Complete with various activities -- lines were way too long to actually do said activities.

So, while the babies hunted in the 0-3 group, Andy and Alex observed. Andy began to freeze before his turn began. It was a chilly high 40s with a wind blowing. Although he had on the most clothes and warmest coat he was C-O-L-D! While waiting for his turn he curled up on Nona's lap and rested under her second coat, even covering his face completely with the hood.

When his turn began he crawled down, commented on the bumble bee egg he was going to get and when they said, "Go!" he forgot all about it and picked up 4 eggs. Then remembered the bumble bee egg and saw it was gone. The flood of tears lasted for many minutes and he went back to the car to watch a movie until Alex was done.

During Alex's egg hunt, he passed many eggs to get Andrew the bumble bee egg he wanted. He grabbed 2 in the distance and when we went to the car, he gave Andrew his bumble bee egg.

So sweet! And he made is brother so happy! I was so touched I could have cried.
