Easter Egg Hunt!

Josiah is on Spring Break this week. For most children that would be really exciting, but Josiah LOVES preschool. So, he thought today would be boring...not so.

We got him dressed & presented him with his brand new Easter basket.

He was so excited to get a new Easter Basket. It even has his name on the front. Dustin had the day off & so we decided to head to West Seattle for a community Egg Hunt.

As soon as we walked in the front door, Josiah spotted the "Easter Bunny." I put that in quotation marks because not only was it not a good looking Easter bunny, but there was a 6th grader inside. Ha! Josiah didn't seem to mind & ran right over to have his picture taken.

Then, we walked inside the gym to find all kinds of games for the kids to play. Josiah was so excited! This was the perfect activity because no one over the age of 4 years was aloud to play. Well, he's 4, so if anyone is going to get knocked over or pushed around it was going to be someone younger than him.

His favorite part was the bouncy house. This was the COOLEST bouncy house I'd ever seen. We couldn't get him to come out. The only way we finally got him was because they announced that the Egg Hunt was about to begin.

Here we are waiting for the whistle to blow so we could take off & gather some eggs.

GO!!!!! Josiah didn't hesitate for one minute. He was out on the field faster than most of the children. He knew exactly what he wanted. A lot of eggs were laying on the grass open. He would not pick up an open egg. He would pick up the candy on the ground beside the open egg & leave the egg on the ground. He knew what the best part of this hunt was.

Josiah was so excited when the hunt was over. He had a ton of eggs.

As soon as we got back inside he wanted to open his eggs & see what he got.

He got a lot of loot!

Next, Josiah decided he wanted his face painted. WHAT!?!? Josiah has NEVER IN HIS LIFE wanted ANYONE to put ANYTHING on his face. We were shocked. He walked right over & sat down & let the boy go to work. He LOVED the finished product!

As soon as he got his face painted, he said, "I need to go get another picture taken with the Easter Bunny since my face is painted." How funny!

What a great time we all had at the Easter Egg Hunt!
