Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday evening, all the young family Sunday School

classes got together for a cook out and Easter Egg Hunt.

 

 

Almost 200 people showed up for dinner, music, a devotion and the big hunt.

 

Ruth knew what to do, she was just a little slow to remember ;)

 

What Ruth REALLY wanted to do, though, was find some eggs and

then REHIDE them for other kids. hahahahaha! Here she is hiding some eggs in the play kitchen.

 

And then it became obvious that the REAL fun was playing on the playground.

Who cares about silly eggs. There's too much playing to be done!

 

Nathan & Faith's group was slightly more competitive. And they wee quicker to find eggs, not so willing to rehide eggs, and certainly no interest in playing when they knew what was in those eggs!

 

Ruth even helped them out - she found an egg and passed it to her sister on the other side of that playset.

  n

 

Then Ruth spotted her Kids Day Out teacher and asked for help opening an egg.

CANDY!! Now she could play and eat :D

 

Ruth turned into a bit of a candy monster at this point. Good thing she only found 5 eggs ;)

 

Off she went, when candy in her hands (and mouth), to visit the big kids egg hunt.

 

I'm still not sure if she was going that way to cheer them on, or find some more candy for herself ;)

 

But she was redirected and found DADDY!

 

She even tried to share her oreo with Daddy, but he didn't want a bite. Go figure.

 

After lots of play and candy, cascarones came out.

These are definitely a Texas thing. Probably primarily San Antonio thing?

 

 

They're egg shells filled with confetti, sealed with tissue paper and decorated.

You're suppose to smash them on a friend's head for good luck.

But kids just like smashing them to make a mess in a friend's hair :D

 

Faith asked Daddy to bend down. But daddy was wiser than she hoped.

 

So she tried to smash it on a friend, but it didn't break.

So I asked Faith if I could see her carcasone. And she wasn't as wise as her Daddy ;)

 

Poor Faith. She survived. Mean mommy.

But she got a lesson in being a good sport ;)

 

The kids had a great time at the hunt.

And NO carcasones came home with us.

win-win :D
