Easter Eggstreme!!!

Today, Ty and I took the girls to Thanksgiving Point's Easter Eggstreme event. It was a lot of fun! We got there just before the 0-3 yr. old egg hunt was beginning and there was a 20 minute wait to buy your tickets and get in, so we missed the first hunt. Once we got in, we waited for a few minutes and decided to send Madelyn in with the 4-6 year old hunt. Even though they had said no parents, the parents stormed the field with their kids, so I followed along and videotaped and took pictures. She filled her basket with as many as she could before the eggs were all gone, which was in about 2 minutes. It was crazy! Of course she had to open a few right then and eat the candy inside.

We then walked around and did some of the activities that were there...bean bag toss, ring toss, the bunny hop sack race, and the inflatable relay race. She really wanted to ride the cow train and get her face painted, but the lines were really long. So we we convinced her to leave and go to Del Taco instead to play in the playland. It was just built down the street from us, and she keeps saying she wants to go there as we pass it. In fact about a week ago we drove through the drive thru and then when we brought our food home, she was all disappointed, and I said, "What's wrong?" and she said, "Mom, we're never gonna make it." I said, "We're never going to make it where?" She said, "We're never gonna make it to that playland." So today we thought that we'd better go. We ate lunch and played in the playland, then got a balloon from a clown that was there. Madelyn asked for a purple dinosaur, which was a little random. I guess she likes Barney??? Anyway, we headed back home and everyone crashed, so I ran errands by myself, which was heavenly except for being at WalMart on Saturday, I'm really starting to hate that place. For the most part it was a pretty good day. Here are a few photos.
