Easter Eggs Hunting

Easter seemed odd this year. It came early. It snuck up on us. Instead of buying so many sweet candies and plastic Easter Eggs, we took our boys to visit the Easter Activities nearby our home school site.
Ryan was brave enough to stand in a front of Easter Bunny. Dylan was terrified of the Bunny.

Dylan asked for my assistance to put the glitter on his Easter Egg Foam.

After finishing their short activities, the boys headed for their Easter Eggs hunting. There were age groups. Ryan and Dylan were in a different group this time. They started at younger age groups.

David was standing next to Ryan. He was giving him the signal until it was his turn. When it was time for Ryan, he rushed out to get all of his plastic eggs as much as he could. He indeed have the fun. He was also so proud to get all of the Easter Eggs though there were no candies inside of any eggs. At the end of his hunting, he was very generous to give one of his Easter eggs to a really sad little girl, who only had one egg. I was pleased to see that he did have an empathy at that moment.


Dylan was in the older group. While he was standing patiently, he decided to fool it around with his Easter Basket. By the time it was his turn, I was pleased to see that he had learned his lesson from last year. Last year, he only preferred to have Orange Eggs! This year, he got all colored eggs.

After they finally collected their Easter Hunting, they were so proud to have many eggs than they did a year before. They both had returned their eggs at the counter in exchange for the prizes. The prize included pencils, mini notebook, and one plastic egg with few candies inside of an egg. I considered it is a win-win for both of us: less sweet for the boys from us and the boys had a blast time for them.

What a fun day! That sounds like way more fun than just eating candy at home.

You guys find the best stuff to do.
