mops easter egg hunt...4.8

anna leigh and sarah...

playing in the little creek...

running as far away as possible...

raising their hands if they were being quiet during the hunt instructions...

and they're off...

drew was very serious about his egg hunting...

sarah made sure to keep her hand on the tree when she found her 10 eggs...

sarah and drew found a nice seat to enjoy their candy...

while everyone else was still happily hunting away...

more friends decided to stop for a sugar rush...

miss amy telling the kiddos to use their listening ears to find out the rules for the game...

everyone else eventually decided to run around again, but drew was content to stay on the bench and enjoy his booty...

on wednesday afternoon, a great group of moms from mops got together at the park with ALL of our kiddos to have a little easter egg hunt. the kids had SO. MUCH. FUN.

we let them play on the playgrounds for a while while the bunny hid all the eggs. of course, the kids wanted to play in the ditch and run towards the woods the whole time. its so nice to have 10 or so moms to watch out for our wild ones!!!

we stayed at the park for 3+ hours. it was the most perfect, beautiful spring day! a nice breeze and gorgeous sunshine! and little jacob just chilled with us the whole time. he spent some time on the ground on a blanket while we read stories...LOVING all the attention from the older kids!

we grabbed some food on the way home and jumped STRAIGHT in the shower when we got home. and then immediately to bed. what a great way to spend the afternoon!

i have a feeling we are all going to be worn out at the end of the day almost every day this summer! what a great feeling!!!
