The Hunts Begin...

Spring Break was this past Friday for Sandy Creek. Unfortunately, we only got one day off. That meant for my kids, and a few others, it was to go work with mom day. As the weather gets nicer, and Easter draws near, there are tons of activities going on around the area. Friday night I met a friend in Hastings after work to attend a few trunk shows at a local boutique, we had a great time. Saturday was the vendor show and egg hunt in Edgar. They had a very nice turn out with quite a few vendors. My kids and I could not resist some of the delicious treats. We grabbed hamburgers for lunch, which were also available at he show, and waited for the egg hunt. Right before the kids all went outside it started to rain, it switched from a drizzle to actual rain. The kids didn't mind, and of course, once the hunt was over and everyone went back inside, it stopped raining. Since we were cold and wet, we head home to dry off and relax. The spring forward time change is the roughest one at our house. I can't get the kids to bed as early as I would like, plus it's light out later. Getting up an hour earlier than usual is rough. We are not exactly morning people. Sunday was gorgeous, we spent as much time as possible outside. My girls love digging for worms once the ground gets soft again. The next two weeks also provide egg hunts in the area. As I said, I had my kids with me for the Edgar egg hunt. That proved to be a tad challenging. My kids are fairly spread out age wise, so they were in three different areas for the hunt. That means that Weston was left to his own device. I was there watching him, but trying to snap photos and keep my camera dry at the same time. I had to wrangle him in a few times before it even started. He did not stay in his designated area, he took off running anywhere he saw eggs, then he took off when he found his sister. This sweet little boy of mine is full of spunk. He never stops moving and he always has a motor sound coming out of his mouth. He has gotten to the age where he is not afraid of the Easter bunny. I got a very cute picture of him looking at her in awe, of course, she was also holding a bucket of candy. I enjoy watching all these sweet little faces run around grabbing eggs. Especially the youngest ones, they just run around with their basket looking at the eggs and candy, and then looking at their parents. It's usually the parents that end up picking them up and putting them in the basket. What I enjoy most about this time of year area the rain showers. I love the smell of rain, and a good thunderstorm is my favorite. I just broke down and ordered a remote shutter cable for my camera. Hopefully, I will catch some good lightning shots this spring! Keep an eye out for your local egg hunt. Watch the weather as storm season is approaching. Don't forget to hunt nature and see what fun things you can find!
