Natalie's First Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday, I took Natalie to her first big city Easter Egg Hunt. (She didn't go to any big Easter Egg Hunts last year) It was held at Knight's Action Park, and actually had 3 different hunts throughout the morning. I knew that it would be busy so we got there about 15 minutes early. There was one big problem with that.....for Natalie's age group (0-2) the eggs were not hidden at all and just dumped right in front of all of the kids.
Unfortunately, I had spent all morning hyping Natalie up that she was going to go find eggs and pu them into her basket. I did such a great job, that this tactic completely blew up in my face! Have you ever tried to explain to a two year old that, yes, you can see the eggs right in front of you, but you cannot have any of them until someone says go???!?!?! Yeaaahhhh, that was not fun!
Thankfully when it was finally go time, Natalie had a great time and loved getting the eggs. She would have collected even more if she wasn't greedy and attempted to collect 2-3 eggs in one handful each time! After the hunt was over, we were instructed to get the candy out of the eggs and then recycle the eggs (give them back). I wasn't sure how Natalie would handle this, but she loved it. She acted like she had won the lottery every time she opened up an egg and found candy. It was so cute! The only adorable problem was when we were returning the eggs, Natalie began to return the candy too! I love that girl so much!
