On The Hunt

For a hunter with a keen eye, such as Micah, one egg hunt for the Easter season would never be sufficient. To only be able to utilize his skills once a year would be a travesty indeed. So blah blah blah, I did an egg hunt in our backyard :)


You know the only thing more difficult than getting decent pictures of a sprinting 2 yr old desperately following the smell of jelly beans? Trying to also get pictures of his sister before the hunt is over~

She definitely got the idea of the egg hunt and went to each egg in turn, picked it up, placed it in the basket and moved on to the next. And miracle of miracles, Micah didn't bother Lizzie's eggs, so they were still there to be collected!

She was very proud of herself...

Micah had no problem finding even the best hidden eggs. He located this peach colored one on our peach tree from across the yard... I could barely spot it!

Egg shakers..... both of 'em

Offering the fruits of her labor back to Pa.

Since she has been crawling for 9 MONTHS now, she can do it with pretty much anything in her hands...

You can't tell, but his basket is PACKED.... Luckily I have a trick up my sleeve, each egg only has 2 jelly beans in it. Maximum hunting enjoyment, minimum sugar and he's none the wiser.... yet :)

That girl loves her Pa!

The following pics demonstrate why I always take rapid fire pictures of the kids and delete the duds later. This one is hilarious, but perhaps not the traditionally admired picture~

Lizzie- check, Micah.... drat

Did I mention that they were egg shakers?

It's shakin' eggs, and I helped!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!! Well, good enough at least! Toddler photo success = both kids sorta facing the camera and not screaming.. smiles are a bonus!
