The city of Roseburg does an annual Easter Egg Hunt at the park. We decided to give it a try this year. We were amazed at how many people were there. There were over 10,000 eggs with candy and prizes inside--and they were all GONE within 30 seconds. I've never seen anything like it! Here is our crew at the starting line for the egg hunt. They put the eggs inside a huge circular area that has been marked off and then they release all the kids at one time. It was a little bit like a war zone. Next year I'm putting my kids in Football pads! :)
Ready...Set...GO!!!
We were a little slow off the line. By the time the girls got to where the eggs were...
...everybody else was on their way back out!
Kate was telling Adam all about what happened. I guess it was so crazy that she didn't realize that he was with her the whole time!
Gotta check out the loot!
Out of 10,000 eggs we managed to grab 4 of them. :)
They were so proud of their eggs!
Good teamwork!!!
Afterwards we ran into some of our good friends, the Frasiers (who were MUCH more skilled at egg gathering than us), and all the girls ran around in the park for almost an hour together. They were very nice and shared their candy with our girls.
We got to meet the Easter Bunny while we were there. The girls were totally freaked out!
I had to keep my arm around Kate's back the whole time so that she didn't run away! She was pushing backwards the whole time.
As were were leaving the park we found a family that was blowing bubbles for their kids. They were very generous and let our girls jump right in on the bubble fun. This turned into another hour at the park!
Once the bubbles were done we hit the playground. We couldn't leave without going down the slide!!!! That would be torture!
After that we went to breakfast at Elmer's.
It was 2:00 pm.

That sounds like an awesome day!
Sounds crazy...but fun! 4 out of 10,000 eggs is nuts, but if the girls loved it, it was worth it! :)
