Each year Jon's school puts on a free to the public Easter egg hunt, face painting, balloon animals, story reading, and the "Easter bunny" flys in to take pictures with the kids. Below is a picture of the maddness. It was a terribly cold day I can't imagine if it'd been a nice day how many people would have been there.
The empty parking lot lined with people is where they landed.
They flew around waving and all the parents were making bunny threats under there breath it was windy and sooo cold and the bunny was late.
Maddie said "he doesn't look very real to me".
Dane's hand was frozen around his bucket.
Maddie all ready to go, her dad had been prepping her to sprint sprint sprint. Maddie is fast too.
All the kids about to break loose.
Well Maddie (top left corner) ran and ran and ran and never stopped to pick up eggs. When she'd find a cluster a bunch of kids would sit down and had them picked up by time she got there. I couldn't help it I was laughing hysterically. The parents had to stay back so we just watched as she struggled to find her two eggs. She broke into tears Jon had to go get because she was standing there in the middle of the field sobbing.
She was feeling some animosity towards the other kids so we took her over to the petting zoo to make her feel better. We told her we would do another Easter egg hunt at our house. Two girls in Maddie's age group must have seen her crying because they walked up to her and each gave her an egg. That seemed to really boost her spirits. So sweet right? The egg prizes were pretty lame one had a peppermint flavored mint in it???
Jon's favorite part was the llamas. This also happens to be the Logan University mascot. Hoping next year is warm and that we get there early to enjoy the event.

Cool idea but lame prizes. When you said that one egg only had a mint in it a pictured some dude in the helicopter munching down candy before tossing the egg out the window. Haha
