Last year we went to grandma's for Easter. So there was an Easter basket for Nathan but no real easter egg hunt. We did color eggs and had some fun with that at home but again the concept of Easter was pretty much an unknown for him.

This year we went on the great Easter Egg Hunt. Since we do live in a small town and the hunt was not far from home there were many neighbors and friends to be found. Hundreds of kids and thousands of eggs. Callista went off with friends from school and joined the third and fourth graders in their section. Sarita decided to stay with Nathan and help him out. Good thing too because we all know Nathan. He would be out there studying one of the eggs and trying to put it back together in a field of thousands more. Meanwhile little kids would be scampering here and there picking up colorful eggs by the basketful. Big sis Sarita took him in hand and helped maintain a sense of purpose.

At the starting line waiting for the Easter Bunny to say GO:

And they are off! Check out the kid way out front. Nathan and Sarita were much more sedate:

On the move, picking up them eggs:

Note Sarita's hand on his jacket to keep Nathan in forward motion:

Check out the goodies! They recycle all the plastic eggs for the next year so you get to dump out all your goodies into your basket and then put the eggs in these tubs. Some of the eggs had little tickets that you could win stuff with. Nathan won a chocolate bunny and some more candy. Sarita got the pop he won.
