Carly's First Egg Hunt

Carly attended her first Egg Hunt this afternoon. After her nap she took a wagon ride down to our neighborhoods pool area to visit and play with other neighborhood children before the hunt began. She played with bubbles, drew on the parking lot with egg shaped side walk chalk, attempted to pick up an egg or two a little early for her basket, and met some new friends. Once everyone had gathered and the rules had been given, the kids were off. Carly was searching for eggs with children ranging from 0 - 5 (although, I think she was one of the youngest actually out hunting) and did quite well. She managed to pick up 13 eggs. The cutest part though was when she saw everyone going through their eggs and she began to copy. She is not interested in candy (yet), so she would open the egg, throw the candy on the ground, and then place the opened egg back in her basket. (You can imagine the fun I had when it was time to turn her 13 plastic eggs back in to the HOA bucket.) Thankfully, her neighborhood friends can be quite the distraction for her.
