Easter Egg Hunt on the Farm

This is the first Easter that Candace's coworker Diane has not been in town to throw her giant Easter egg hunt and brunch. When we found out that she was going to be in Singapore visiting some family we were heart broken that we would not be going to the traditional party at her place. Diane is amazing. She loves Easter more than anyone I have ever met. Candace says it is here favorite holiday and she plans all year for her party. Each year she stuffs thousands of eggs and cook hundreds of dollars of food for family and close friends. We have been invited to this amazing party for the last 2 years and have some to really look forward to it as part of our Easter weekend. When I heard that there would be no party at Diane's I was sad and tried to figure out a fun alternative for the kids. There were lots of community hunts but we have learned that they tend to be overcrowded and the kids that attend are usually kinda greedy and its not really fun, its more like run and get a few eggs before you get trampled. I had pretty much given up on going to a hunt on Saturday until the Craig family invited us to a hunt out on their friends farm. I decided to take the kids. Saturday morning we got a dozen eggs together, got some Hershey kisses from Walgreens and met up at the Craig's house. The older kids took the eggs we brought and went to the designated house for the hunt while the little ones waited. Once the eggs were hidden they let the kids loose. Bay was in heaven. He was outside looking for Easter eggs filled with all kinds of Candy. There were tons of eggs, the weather was fantastic. It was a blast. Here are some pictures of Bay and Sheri's son Caden looking for eggs and Bay with his newly found loot!
