Easter Egg Hunt!

On Saturday morning, we headed to Norwich to take part in the Optimist's Easter Egg Hunt (which my mom was organizing!). We got to mom and dad's house, loaded the boys into the stroller and walked to the park with Uncle Scott and Jamie in search of some eggs.

The eggs are hidden in the Peter Lossing Forest in Norwich. Don't worry, it's not a big forest, just a gathering of trees, really.

Logan waiting for the official "GO!"

It rained that morning so we were prepared with rubber boots for everyone...aren't Scott's attractive?

Jacob waiting. (Jacob has this new thing about hanging onto and hugging our legs, all the time. It used to be cute, now it's just a bit annoying!)

Mom finally yelled GO! and we were off. The forest is split into sections according to age. So the boys were in the under 3 category. Scott lifted up Jacob and ran toward the back so he could get a chance at getting a few eggs. Uncle Scott and Jamie took Logan so I don't have any pictures of them right now.

"Look! There's one!"

Bending down to pick it up.

Checking out his haul of eggs.

He was pretty excited about having them in his basket.

Heading back with Daddy with a tight grip on that basket.

There was even an appearance by the Easter Bunny!

After the egg hunt, we headed to the Curling Club for lunch. While we were there, the boys were both lucky enough to win a door prize; a bucket of chalk for Logan and a bubble sword for Jacob; as well as the jar of jelly beans! We came home with quite a haul.

Jacob was pretty anxious waiting for lunch, so here's a rare picture of him and I.

Logan making good progress of his hot dog.

Finally, Jacob got some food. You'd never know that the kid had already eaten tonnes that day.

Modeling the bunny ears that Jamie helped him make.

They made a pair for Jacob too.

I'm not sure what caught his attention but I thought this was a cute pic.

We headed back to mom and dad's for naptime and then headed outside to play for a bit before a yummy supper.

Scott pretending that he knows how to play baseball...

Here's a series of pictures I call "Hiding Beer in the Mailbox"

Take a drink...

Slide it into the mailbox...

Put up the flag.

He seems pretty pleased with his hiding spot.

This is the only picture I have of the kids together...I put a lot of thought into their outfits to make them match.

Playing hockey.

I love the pics of Logan with the basket on his head and also his ears. And the one of Jacob looking into his basket SO intently.

Scott would think that's a good hiding spot.

Did the Easter Bunny scare the boys at all?
