Easter Egg Hunt on the Oval

We attended the annual egg hunt on the oval at The University of Montana again this year. It basically went like this: Very cold wind blowing from Hellgate Canyon, Addy loving and hugging the Easter bunny, Addy loving, hugging and dancing with the Monte mascot, waiting on the edges of the 0-2 age group for the clock tower to strike 1 p.m., a complete mad dash of parents and little kids racing for plastic eggs and candy that was picked up in seconds, well, possibly a minute or two in the little kids area, looking over the loot and reflecting on the experience, returning the plastic eggs, and heading back to the car. And yes, we will probably go back again next year to do it again! Addy loved it again this year. Next year, she'll be in the group for 3-year-olds and Emery will be in the 0-2 group. But, I must say, for being 2 this year, Adalyn totally understood the concept. She raced to the middle of the lawn area and drug Jamey with her. I followed out with the stroller and Emery sound asleep inside. Adalyn filled her basket with eggs and candy she scooped up herself. Later she even picked up and handed candy to other little kids. (what a little sweetie!)

That's great you took your girls to the egg hunt. Oh my, little Emery will be out there next year. How crazy! I know Adalyn had a blast by the look on her face! She loves furry animals! You should have Jamey dress up in something. Haha!
I like the double-stroller, I bet that makes things much easier.

Oh my, those pix. are so cute!!! I love that Addy is not afraid of big furry critters and that she was sharing candy. Emery was relaxing but I think next year will be different!!! Sure do love those grandgirls.
