A week or so before Easter, I saw an advertisement for a flashlight Easter egg hunt to be held in downtown Jeffersonville. I e-mailed a few people to see if they would be interested in going. Alicia wisely gave me some insight into how the event had gone last year. Upon thinking a little more about the idea of letting my children loose in a public park in the dark among hundreds of other people, I thought better of the idea. I decided to hold our own flashlight Easter egg hunt. Gabriel, Grace, and I filled nearly 500 plastic eggs with Easter candy. We invited some of our favorite people, and the hunt was on!
The kids had a ball running around the field next to the house and collecting their Easter eggs.
The goal was for every child to be able to fill their basket with eggs.
Here are all of the kiddos with their buckets of loot.
The next step was opening the eggs to see what was inside.
There were Easter eggs for as far as the eye could see.
Vada was more interested in eating the candy than opening the eggs.
I'm sure Jake ate his share of candy too.
It was so funny hearing the kids announce what they found in their eggs.
Grace and Landon compare Easter egg loot.
Preston and Blaise opened their loot too.
Of course, the U of L game was playing while the kids opened their eggs.
I love the chaos!
Everyone put their eggs back into the bucket so they can be refilled next year. I think that's a sign that everyone had fun and would like to do it again.
These cute girls sitting in the egg bucket were so funny!
Get ready, Everyone! This may become a tradition!
