Easter Egg Hunt at the Sugar Bush

No pictures of enormous piles of pancakes. This year the shots are free pre-new guy and they have BigE and Peanut out for the Easter Egg hunt. The eggs where hidden by some large bunnies. Funny thing was I never knew bunnies had vision care either.

Here are the kids showing off their buckets. This year the snow was gone early so despite it being two weeks before Easter the ground was bare.


BigE as usual was watching out for his little sister


I think the was around the moment when Peanut figured out that she can find and take these eggs. This properly setup the real Easter morning chocolate hunt. At that point she had the basics of the search down. But boy does an egg full of chocolate improve the motivation on a toddler!

The Easter Hunt 09

This was probably the last year that BigE will be able to do the Easter Egg hunt all by himself. He's got a couple of more years with a pure tactic skill advantage but I'm sure Peanut will be stumbling along next year trying to eat something.

This year we started with an early morning hunt. BigE was able to find just about all the eggs planted by the Easter Bunny.

The favorite hiding spots appeared to be his coat pocket, shoes, and cereal bowl. Although I was sure the egg in the cardboard fish was going to be hit. But Dada missed that so maybe.

The Kinder eggs are still a definite favorite. Nanny Dot sent a little cashola to pick out an Easter egg. So BigE picked out the jumbo Easter egg at Costco. (Yes Jumbo was redundant with the word Costco). Those little crappy plastic toys are still a hug hit with BigE.

I guess its the modern equivalent of those party cracker thingies we had growing up.

At Auntie Bevie BigE had far more competition for the eggs. And a lot larger search area as Auntie Bevie had covered about an acre in eggs. BigE being the youngest managed to pick a few eggs with an assist.

Even with eggs up in the trees!

Not a bad haul for the day. That's basket number 2!
