Easter Egg Hunt



The Easter Egg Hunt in Webster Groves was several Saturdays ago. Since this was Mia's first official egg hunt, we thought it would be fun to invite all the Grandparents to come with us (and Uncle Scott too!) The egg hunt was in the courtyard at a retirement community. It actually was a neat set-up with two different egg hunt areas: one for little kids (under 3) and one for big kids (over 3).



The Easter Bunny was there too.



When the egg hunt officially started, Mia was a little overwhelmed. Luckily, for the little kids hunt, adults were able to accompany the kids. Mia picked up a few eggs, but certainly didn't get the concept of racing around to pick up the eggs, like some of the other kids. Instead, Mia would pick up an egg, show it to me, shake it, look at it, etc....before I would get her to put it in her basket and move on to another one.





After the hunt was over, the little kids area cleared out as everyone had moved over to the big kids area. We took advantage of this time to do our own little mini egg hunt with Mia. Since we have to be careful of candy with Mia's peanut allergy, we filled the eggs with grapes and graham crackers. Mia thought that was so much fun!



After the egg hunt, we went to lunch at one of our favorite places - First Watch. Yum! We are so happy that we could share this day with the family!
