Waveny Park Easter Egg Hunt

Today we (including Friend Bear) headed over to the New Canaan High School for the 41st annual Waveny Park Easter Egg Hunt. Since it was really windy and chilly and the grounds were soaking wet they moved the Easter Egg Hunt from the park to the high school.

They had lots of baked goods for sale, 4 bounce houses, a live band, face painting and thousands of eggs and hundreds of people.  It was so crowded.  We did our best to stick together and wait the 45 minutes before the gymnasium opened up for the egg hunts to begin.

They had 4 different egg hunts separated by ages.  They had a 2 and under group and a 3 to 4 year old group however we though since Katie is almost 3 that we'd just let them hunt for eggs together.  I guess from the excitement and anticipation for the egg hunt to begin that once it did it got really loud in there and Katie immediately started crying.  Katie and I followed Mikey around while he picked up 10 eggs or so and I grabbed a few when I could for Katie.

At home we assessed the goods and one of Katie's eggs was a golden egg!  Apparently there were only 1 egg per age group and roughly 10,00 eggs.  Her winnings was a $50 gift card to the New Canaan Toy Store!

He always gives me a silly face now when I try to take his picture.

Eggs everywhere!

People everywhere too!  Boo.

Waiting for the egg hunt to begin.

He did great waiting and with all the people and loud music playing.

Excited for the moment.

A mad dash for the eggs!  This year he actually picked up the eggs himself!

And just like that it was over.  He did good.

Katie didn't do so good.  She cried the entire time.

Oooohhh.  I spy a golden egg.
