Easter Egg Scramble!

The day before Easter we headed off to church for the Easter Egg "Scramble" - not a hunt since the eggs were strewn everywhere in plain sight and the kids had to scramble to get their eggs. Eli was given an Easter book and saw an acted out Easter story and then the scramble began. We were in the lower age range which got to go first, and once Eli saw the eggs up the hill he took off, leaving Jon and I in the dust! Eli was really good about getting only his allotted amount of eggs (20), but after the first few he decided to get selective and tried to pick only ones with blue on them. The whole thing didn't take much time, but Eli still loved it. We were there and back within 45 minutes, so it was well worth the time!

He's off!
