Our Music Makers group got invited to an egg hunt at a senior home where we have visited and done our program before! It was a beautiful day and they had some residents outside to watch . . . 
We got greeted by the Easter Bunny! Ak gave him a hug - Z hid behind me. (: Another group of kids were also there - they sang a song they prepared with cute homemade bunny hats and all . . . I didn't want them to upstage the MUSIC makers group - so luckily I knew they were doing a song, so I was prepared and brought a CD and some egg shakers in case we wanted to do a song too in front of the residents! My group didn't object - so we did.
Then the kids got to go hunt eggs!!! There were TONS of them everywhere around the front and side of the building. At the beginning Ak was very paticular about what eggs she would put in her basket. She'd pass by 10 before getting one - it cracked me up. (:
Z filled up his "basket" - I mean FILLED - how fun for a kid to hunt eggs with no limit! He gave some to Ak - but still tied his buddy with 39 eggs for first place for "most eggs" and they both got a prize! A little girl got a prize for "least eggs" - she had 2!
Here's part of our group of kids with Bro. W - his wife is a resident there and they both are members of our church - so he was tickled to see us all there! She didn't come outside - but he has always come to see us when he knows our group is going to be there. (:
Afterwards they even had cookies and lemonaide for us! Nice for the moms - we just showed up with kids and a basket! My kids had a great time - I hope everyone did!!!

That is awesome! Sounds so much fun!
Cool! That's funny about Ak and her egg choices! That's nice that the kid with the least amount of eggs got a prize! Sounds like a very fun trip!
