Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday we were invited to go to an Egg Hunt. I was so excited! That was going to be my first time going Egg Hunt the American Way.  It was supposed to be awesome, and it was.

We got there around 10 am and would not leave until noon. There were a lot of things for kids to play and Lucas wanted to try everything… Well, not quite everything. We tried to put him inside one of those inflatable’s jumpers but as soon as he got his face there, some kids that were playing accidentally put him down, so he did not want to go back there. My husband and I were like, well, I don’t think Lucas will enjoy any of those things, those are for bigger kids….and when we saw, he was running towards the biggest slide by himself, and he did it!!! He did it 1, 2, 3, 4 times. He loved it!!!

After spending an hour going up and down on those slides, it was time for the big event of the day. There was a helicopter throwing 10.000 eggs on the field for the kids to go hunt. Lucas in the beginning did not care for the eggs. He was just amazed by the helicopter. He could not take his eyes off it. We got 5 or 6 eggs for him. After the hunt was over and most kids had left the field we strated throwing eggs around him without him seeing it and when he started finding it, he understood what was going on and he wanted to find more and more. Some of the eggs had prizes inside and we were so lucky that we got 3 prizes – a marble game, colored chalk and a ticket to McWane Center.

I was so happy that we went there and had a great experience, great time with great friends!!!
Now we are planning on having our own Egg Hunt on Sunday. We will have some friends from New Orleans here with us. They are actually from Brasil too, so we will have a American/Brazilian Easter. I will tell you guys later how we celebrate Easter with kids. It is fun too.
