The Best Egg Hunt Ever



Karsen has always been a pretty good hunter. Don't get too excited, Uncle Alan or PawPaw, we're talkin' eggs here not real game. But this Easter was pretty amazing due to the fact that she had a little bit of competition. It was really fun to see Griff spy an egg from across the yard and take out toward it. (He is a pretty good walker now and it is his preferred method of transportation, however, he still has greater speed with the crawl.) Needless to say he didn't take out toward the eggs with enough locomotion to "win" his sister to the cackleberries. She is highly competitive lately with her attempts to "win ya" at just about everything. We use this to our advantage when we are attempting to get her to brush her teeth, load up in the car, eat green things, etc. But it is not so handy when it comes to egg hunts with a brother who is newly mobile and easily distracted. We did marvel at the kindness big sister showed little man. She eagerly gave him all eggs that did not have pink or purple markings on them. She was a bit overly zealous in locating even a trace amount of pink or purple on eggs she thought she wanted to keep. When you see the pictures, I'm sure you will agree that it looks like fun!
