Where are all the eggs?

We attended a community Easter Egg Hunt today at the park near our house. It was supposed to begin at 11 am so we arrived a few minutes before. There were children and Easter baskets everywhere. J was so excited! As we were walking up to the large group , the whistle blew and everyone took off. The big kids ran ahead of all the small children and the eggs were gone in literally 30 seconds. GONE! I was secretly irritated that every 8-9-10 year old kid had baskets filled with eggs and the little ones were crying because they didn't have any! We made the best of it but you can clearly see the look of frustration on J's face. Oh, and no I did not button his top button like that. He said he was cold so he "buttoned up to stay warm". hehe. :-) MG could have cared less though J was devastated because he didn't find even one egg. A very nice Daddy took two eggs out of his own sons' basket and threw them on the ground behind J. I had to point him quickly in the right direction before the 10 year old beside us pounced on them. I stood between him and the eggs since he saw the Dad throw them down. :-) Then we ran into his friend Calen and he shared some eggs with both of them. It was so sweet. If you look closely you can see a little bit of the crowd. This was taken about 5 minutes after the hunt and everyone had already gone back to the pavilion except a few lingering children still trying to find an egg.After the egg hunt (or lack thereof), we stood in line to have our picture made with the bunny. MG was smiling and waving at him the entire time...until it was our turn. Then, she LOST IT! "Nooooooooo bu-ee! Nooooooo bu-ee! Noooooooooooooo...". She was clinging to me like I was waving a snake in her face. Ok, no Easter Bunny for you. This was his reaction...J wasn't too keen on the idea either but when bunny brought out the Dum-Dums he decided maybe posing for a photo wasn't such a bad idea after all. The bunny even shared a few suckers for MG even though she thought he was the devil in disguise. J played a few games and MG played in the "quack quack" pond for a bit. We ran into a couple of friends and then we headed for the hotdog line. We waited for about 15 minutes. Then, in a moment of sheer brilliance I convinced J I would take him anywhere he wanted for lunch (and let them eat a Dum-Dum beforehand) if we didn't have to stand in line for another hour to get our free hotdog. He was resistant at first but minutes later asked for the Golden Arches. I happily obliged.I think the kids had a good time despite the egg hunt thing. I promised we would do plenty of egg hunting at home and that made J feel much better. Here they are enjoying their sugar fix before lunch. Dum-Dums are such a winner at our house. Thank you Easter Bunny!
