Easter Take #1


The Setting: 9:00am, local Henry's Marketplace Grocery. Annual Easter Egg hunt.
The Characters: 30ish parents, 30ish kids. Much chaos.
The Hunt: Imagine 30 hungry dogs let loose in a box about 20 feet on a side with only a limited supply of tenderloin steaks -- then multiply that feeding frenzy times 100 and you get kinda close to this event.
Parents grabbing eggs for thier kids. People running each other over. Disappointed faces mixed with the smiles of satiated gluttony. Wow. By the way, the crying was because they didn't want to leave this awesome experience!
OK, so tomorrow we're going to try a more personal approach with some friends and some stuff around the house.
Until then...

Ohhh I am so sad for my sweet grandchildren but at least when I talked to them on the phone it seemed like they had mostly recovered.

Great picture! We always want to capture the smiles...but what about the cries?? Way to go preserving those cute, sad faces.
