Have I mentioned how much I love living in a small town? Things are much more quaint and activities are free! The city puts on an annual Easter egg hunt. One at the lake for the older kids, and one in Old Town for the younger. This year Logan was up to the challenge, so we walked to the downtown hunt with the Feiglands (Noah was at work). There were probably 100 children (guessing), half of which were in line for the opportunity to seat on the Easter Bunny’s lap!

Logan was very excited to see the bunny – until it was actually our turn to meet him. I had to pick up Logan and carry him over to the bunny.

Shortly thereafter everyone circled around the lawn as the volunteers/city employees tossed out hundreds of eggs, packages of  animal crackers, gold fish, Rice Krispie treats, etc. It was nice that there were options offered other than candy! We were initially expecting the kids to only grab three or four eggs, but both Logan and Jocelyn filled their baskets to the brim!

And, of course, Logan had to have a two-year old meltdown during the hunt. He overturned his basket and pulled away from him. That then led to a massive scramble on my part of righting the basket and trying to find my child in a sea of other children! That is a panic I would like to never experience again. Thankfully, I found him a minute or less later, making his way to the bunny! Apparently he had regained his courage, but I was not about to reward his behavior by allowing him to see the bunny again, let alone by cutting in front of other children!

It was also 85° on the last day of March! That’s unheard of here! March is typically the snowiest month, and yet, we did not receive any measurable snow!

Since I was in single mom mode, I didn’t take a lot of photos and must rely on Larry for the one’s he took. When I get those from him, I’ll upload them here, along with the pictures I did manage to take.
