Easter egg hunt #1

Waiting for things to get started.

Continuing to wait for things to get started.

It's almost time! Check out that crowd of people.

Hey, is that kid behind Drew getting a head start?

The hunt is on!

We went to the Cary park Easter egg hunt today and it was organized chaos at best. There were hundreds and hundreds of people there, maybe thousands. We got there early because we heard parking was a nightmare. The bad thing was waiting for the hunt to get started. The eggs were laying on the baseball field right in front of our faces and the poor kids had to stand there and "not go across the pink line" until things got started. It was torture for them! Luckily Drew wasn't too concerned because he had a few eggs from home in his basket already (pretty smart thinking on my part if I do say so myself!) but we couldn't even let him walk around because the mean lady with the megaphone kept screaming to get behind the line. The hunt was over pretty much as soon as is started. We waited 30 minutes for 30 seconds of fun. We stopped for Drew to get an egg and when we stood up the field was full off people and no eggs were left in sight. It was crazy! Drew had a great time though because he loved running around the open field after the hunt. I should just start taking him to big grassy areas and let him run. He thought it was more fun than the park and I liked it because it was safe. Speaking of safe, the Easter egg hunt was far from it! I can't count how many kids got separated from their parents. The mean lady with the megaphone had to match Moms with their kids for half an hour after the hunt. I saw two Mom's crying and searching for their kids. I felt so bad for them. I can see how losing a kid would be easy if you had two of them. One goes one way and the other heads a different direction. It's impossible to locate them in that huge crowd. We played at the park after the hunt and then went to Chick-Fil-A for an early lunch. It was a fun morning and we're looking forward to a nice Easter weekend!
