Quite possibly the worst egg hunt ever. It was a good day with LOTS of fun to follow, but a sad afternoon for many 7 + under. Luckily we do 3-4 hunts a year and don't put all of our EGGS in one basket. And Buby was none the wiser, thanks to Daddy's last-minute save. But the massively publicized hunt was supposed to start promptly at 11am. There were several hundred families there {early} from all over, including Buby's BFFs Gillian, Lillian, Grace, Hannah, + Cooper. Everyone was in position and ready to race, but Mr. Easter Bunny was a near no-show. You could hear the succession of cries from a distance as the wait became too much for all the tired/hungry babes. Finally, Mr. Bunny + friends showed up on Harleys. Okay, that was kinda cool, but points off for the massive tardiness. Literally the second the ropes came down, the eggs were all gone. ALL GONE, I say. I thought the 2-egg limit was bad at last week's affair... we couldn't even get ONE here. Buby searched and searched. If we had any idea, us moms + dads would've stuck a few in our pockets back at home. All the kids wanted was the plastic eggs we'd promised. Buby and galpal Gilly--emptyhanded--were all "Where are the eggs?" after we'd thoroughly scoured both fields. Daddy ran off and pieced together a bunch of discarded halves he found on the ground for the kids to "find." Phew!

It was just awful. Grace scooped up one egg and searched around for more. I think it's hysterical you have a picture of that walrus...I didn't even see it there, but Grace cried about it all night and the next morning. She called it a blue monster. Why on earth was there a walrus at an egg hunt? That's the one thing that Grace took away from the whole experience.
Who put that one together? I can just imagine the angry letters...
And is that an Easter walrus?!
Yeah, so many of the kids were just hysterical and disappointed!! The walrus was so random. He came up to us in line for the inflatable climbing thing. The bunny, of course, was nowhere to be seen.
I couldn't figure out what that walrus was for either. Maybe someone called him at the last minute when the bunny was so late?
