Easter Egg Hunt

We had our 2nd annual Easter Egg hunt with our church play group this morning. The weather was PERFECT!!!! Much better than last, although last year was sunny and nice it was also chilly. Cooper was much more into it this year and had blast. Last year it was at Perrin Park but they don't officially open until April 1st, which I think means their playground is open, I don't know. We improvised and had it behind our church, which despite the construction zone turned out perfect. The eggs were hidden in the open field and the parking lot was blocked off for all the kids to ride their tricylces and toy cars.

We invited Allie & Sharon to join us again this year. Click here to read about last year. Allie was only about 7 months old so didn't get to enjoy it as much as she did this time around. They are exactly 10 months apart so she is now at the age Cooper was last year. You can also tell how cold it was because she was so bundled up. As a side note, most of these pics Cooper has his eyes closed because of the sun. The whole way to church and waiting for all the kids to show up he kept asking for the "Easter Hunt", so he was pretty excited when it was time to start.

He wanted to open all the eggs before putting them in his basket. Luckily there were over 200 eggs and mostly small children. He wouldn't make it in a community egg hunt with pushy kids.

I had a few people comment to me how much he seems to be coming out of shell. For example, he is playing away from me in this picture. They also commented on how much more he seems to be talking. They couldn't believe it. It's great to hear that, I worry a lot about him socially. I was shy as a child too and know how hard it can be to make friends. I like to see him play more and have fun on his own.
