Today was a big day for Easter Egg Hunts. I was super excited to take Keegan out. This is his third Easter but this was the first year that he would be able to understand what was going on and really have fun hunting for eggs. Our original plan was to just get up and go to the Alpenrose Dairy as they have a big Egg Hunt every year and they also have a hunt for diamond earring for the moms. However, when I was in Albertson the other day I saw a sign that said they would have the Easter Bunny and an Egg Hunt this morning. So I told Matt that I wanted to take Keegan there just in case the weather was too bad and we couldn't take him to the other. I remember when I was a kid our big Hunt was down the aisles of Smith's grocery when it was over by our house. So I kinda laughed about the thought doing the same thing with Keegan. I said to Matt when we pulled up, I hope this isn't lame. (The reason that thought crossed my mind is because at Christmas time they said free pictures with Santa and when we got there, it was not well done and they had a cross eyed Santa) So we went inside and the store had the whole meat section blocked off and then had the kids gathered around. The floor was covered with plastic eggs and candy galoure and there weren't very many kids. Some of the eggs had paper in them that had a prize. So the whistle rang and we were off, well at least Matt and I. Keegan grabbed one egg and wanted to open it before he moved on. We kept hollering, get it Keegan get more, fill your basket. He didn't really care about that. He kept looking around and saying "Easter Bunny where are You?" and then he would go and look for the bunny. In the meantime we were trying not to take all the candy from the kids, and Albertson's had good candy. We were modest about it. Needless to say, it ended up being a lot of fun. There wasn't a crowd and Keegan got his fill of eggs and the prizes that he won were, 3 one pound bags of carrots, I guess that is so you can eat a piece of candy and then try to make yourself feel better by eating a carrot, he won a corn dog and a hot chocolate. I think we will be back for this hunt again next year. Super fun.
Next we were off to the Alpenrose Dairy for another easter hunt. The ride over there took us almost an hour with the amount of traffic that was headed that way. The crowd was huge and they threw chocolate eggs on the grass and then released the kids to gather as they could find. Keegan did pretty good. He wasn't really that interested and Matt got a little crazy by the crowds. Instead of seeing the Easter Bunny that was supposedly there we saw a Moose. I don't know what the Moose had to do with Easter, but ok. Keegan was scared of the Moose and he has been walking around saying, "Moose is scary" We decided not to stay for the mother's diamond hunt because the crowd was massive. There were thousands of people there today. By this time it was getting cold and Myles was hungry so we decided to take our chocolate eggs and go home. We probably won't do that one again, but we might visit the dairy again. There were lots of attractions to look at there and on a nicer day we will go back.
Keegan over all had a fun time. I think he has eaten so much candy that he is refusing to take a nap or eat any lunch. I wonder what the Easter Bunny has in store for him tomorrow.
Hoppy Easter Every Bunny.
