Easter Egg Hunt!

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday at Kitty Hawk Methodist Church. It was lots of fun! Kingston had a blast and got a ton of eggs.

Wonder why he got so many eggs?

Kingston set off to find 'em. He wasn't exactly sure what to do, but he figured it out.

I found one! We had to encourage him to pick up some more. Once he got started, he couldn't stop!





Oooh! There's one!

How am I doing, Dad?

Things are getting a little out of hand at this point. He hasn't moved a foot but his basket is full!

Towards the end he was even putting eggs in other people's baskets! He was either sharing, or he thought he could take that basket home, too. We never determined which it was. We did have to lure him to the car with Tootsie Rolls, I have to admit.

Dad carried the loot to the car. He dropped about 6 eggs along the way, said a few choice words, then decided we should have brought a bigger basket. Next year.

Such a fun day with the family. We have had a few egg hunts in the living room since then. I think we have a new favorite game.

Thank You Easter Bunny

We had a good, relaxing Easter. The bunny came. Hooray!

I think the grass was a hit, even if Kingston didn't care about anything else in the basket. He did like the SpongeBob SquarePants book that was in there. For some reason his face just lights up when he sees SpongeBob. It is a little strange and kind of disturbing how identifiable SpongeBob is and how funny Kingston thinks he is. I beg to differ. But that's another story.

We played in the yard and then had dinner at Nana and Grandpa's house. Yummy!

And now we are giving up sugar for Lent. Oh, wait. . . that's over now. Oops. Well, we are giving up sugar for a few days at least because we have had enough in the last 4 days to last us for quite some time now.

Where did I put that last Reece's Peanut Butter Egg? I gotta go. . .

Egg Hunt!

The Haynes family went to an Easter egg hunt this morning at the Elizabethan Gardens! Once we got out of the way of the millions (I exaggerate a bit) of kids and parents and into the big field, we had a great time! We sort of missed the actual egg hunt part because we were avoiding the big crowd and Kingston doesn't really understand the egg hunt concept anyway. He ended up with a few eggs from friends and we called it a success!

Our day, in pictures:

Yesterday Kingston put a call in to the Bunny on his "Yahtzee phone" to put out a bunch of eggs. (Or the Yahtzee hand held game that Kingston always uses as a phone. However you want to look at it.)

Kingston got a sugar cookie and was supposed to ice it with decorations but got too eager and just started eating it. That's my boy!

Hangin' out with Dad-trying not to get trampled!

Hey Riley! Whatcha got there? Can I have one of your eggs?

Never mind. I'll just get one from the Bunny himself. But only if Dad comes with me!

Kingston loved to wander around in the big field.

He found a few friends to get eggs from without even having to look for them! Thanks, Mr. Len! Don't tell Jackson you were giving out his eggs!

Being so cute is so exhausting! This was the scene before we were even out of Manteo!

We had a great day. I've already spoken to the Bunny on the Yahtzee phone and he is planning on stopping by here some time tonight and leaving a few treasures. Somehow he knew exactly what kind of treats Kingston's Mom likes!
