Zwicks' Park egg hunt!


Cool dude in a loose mood!
He was already for the big hunt. Tyson wasn't really sure what he was in for but Ethel was ready to hunt with him. Walmart and the Chamber of Commerce put together and Easter egg hunt that was free for all kids under eight. We heard about it and I was off this weekend so I though that we would go and see about it. The kids packed up their little buckets and warm clothes and we picked up Ethel and away we went.
There was about 2000 kids there and some parents with no brains. I make mind behave and be safe and share with other kids. The best they can mind you. They are kids. but when parents are taking eggs from other kids for their own... well I have a problem with that. The kids were knocking each other over and then taking their eggs. I dunno. I guess they only know what you teach them.
In general they had a lot of fun. That is all that matters.

Tyson got to go to the other end and start with the kids 2-5 years. He found one big pile of eggs, sat down in the middle of it and just picked them all up. Ethel said he was so cute. Some woman said to him that he should leave some for the other kids but then about 1 minute later the bigger kids started taking over the small kids area. So if he hadn't have gotten what he did when he did he wouldn't have gotten any. Ethel just ignored her anyway. This was the two boys taking a break after the fun was over. They each ended up with half a bucket full. Apparently they scattered over 50000 eggs. for about 2000 kids. And you know what they were all picked up and cleared out of the park in less than 20 minutes. If I hadn't have been there to see it I wouldn't have believed it.


Ethel and Tyson just before the hunt began.

After the hunt and a play in the park we decided to go to the awful McDonald's. I know I just said last week I wasn't running back. We got there and the crowd was really small so the kids played until the lunch menu started and then we had some lunch. After we dropped off Auntie Ethel and went home to try to clean up the yard for some spring weather to hopefully soon start!
Terry, Steph and Nick our friends came up for supper. We watched a comedy show. A guy with puppets.. Jeff Dunham. If you get a chance to see him, he is hilarious!
So that was our Saturday. had a great day! Thanks Ethel for the fun! We know we can always count on you!!
Love you!
