Egg Hunt #2 (3)

Anything with friends is better, so Thomas really enjoyed the egg hunt at Bryce's church. (Gracie got to hunt eggs with Clara last week, so they each got a friend hunt day)

Our church DOES have an Easter Egg hunt, and I feel a little uneasy about choosing their church over ours.  Thomas knows all the kids from Wednesday nights here, and they were doing the Resurrection Eggs and I really wanted to know what those were about. (awesome--by the way--to simply teach kids the meaning of Easter)  And, sadly, our church cuts off the egg hunters at 2nd graders, so Gracie would have had to watch Thomas, or not go at all.  So, I did what I thought was best for all of us.

*** (We LOVE our church, and feel like we belong there, we just kind of add on to our worship experience by branching out for a few things--but I am aware that I am not a "joiner" and if Grace wasn't inviting and encouraging me to do things with her and her church, I wouldn't do anything at all.  I will work on getting more involved at our church home--I know it is important) ***

 

Anyway, Bryce's dad Jason was in-charge of the festivities and he went over the symbols in the 12 eggs, and what they meant and what they looked like.  Then, some helpers hid those 21 eggs among the millions others outside.

Each age group had a certain section outside of the church where they could hunt. Thankfully the parking lot divided Thomas' area from Gracie's and I could watch them both.

Gracie made out like a bandit! Her bucket was full, the extra plastic bag Grace gave her was full, and she was piling them in my purse!

Typical Thomas was constantly wondering around completely happy, but unfocused. But, while sister clearly got the most, he got a Resurrection Egg, so he won a special prize pack.

It was fun hunt, and both kids fully enjoyed the morning.

Thanks (again) for inviting us!
