Easter Egg Hunt & Party for Uncle Gavin - Spring Break 2010

April 3, 2010 by Dad.

The day started early with both Cezanne and Zack getting up at dawn - Christina and I kept and eye on them while the rest of the house got up on their own time. Cezanne and Zack really had fun playing together - they just seem to have made that connection - even though she is twice his age

After breakfast and everybody had gotten up and dressed we headed out ( leaving Lanelle & Etienne at home ) to the Folsom City Easter Egg Hunt where Cezanne, Aiden and Zack took part in the hunt which is really more of a “run and pick up as many eggs as you can from the field”. I have to say it was all very well organized, there were 4 baseball fields one for each age group and a total of about 18,000 eggs distributed between the 4 fields. Trust me when I say there were more than enough eggs !

So we circled the field which had roughly 4,500 brightly colored plastic eggs all filled with candy and waited for the count down. I took a little video of Cezanne collecting her share of the eggs and in less than 90 seconds all the eggs on our field were in a basket of some or other kind.

Cezanne and the Harvett’s posed for some photos with their haul and we had to open all the eggs and review our loot from this great pillage.

I gave my camera to Christina after taking a bunch of photos of her and Gavin and their boys and she kindly took a few photos of Cezanne and I before we headed homeward, but not before a stop to meet and greet the good old Easter bunny !

Back at the Harvett Home we got ready for the big party and Cezanne and Zack again played outside, this time it was basketball and sand pie baking. When the party started we had another Easter egg hunt and Cezanne ended up with the lucky egg, a single special egg with candy and stickers and a lucky coin !Thanks to the Harvetts for a wonderful spring break- we all had a great time and we miss you already !!
