Early Egg Hunt
We visited Claudine's church to participate in their Easter holiday program and egg hunt. It was a rocky start as expected. I had a very upset Victoria on my lap for the first part of the program. She clung to me through the songs and the Easter story. She started to relax with the last song. Then she wanted to do the craft. Should have figured that would pique her interest. She was more herself, though still reticent, by the time we finished the cross pin. She actually went with Aunt Claudine to get a coloring book and chose her favorite color of crayon when offered. That was a relief. Before we had a chance to start coloring in the coloring book, the pastor announced the egg hunt. Victoria was all ready for that. They were going to do it outside. It was still chilly and definitely windy but still whole loads of fun to go searching for the eggs. I wish I'd had my camera for it but it seemed more important just to be there for Victoria. We did manage to stop her around 10 eggs, but then there was a whole nother section to search so we let her go. She ended up with 26 eggs. [We counted them later.]
The pictures weren't from the church. I'd forgotten my camera and left it in the car. There wasn't time to go get it. But I got plenty of pictures later as Victoria counted her haul and examined her loot. And then we had to do more egg hunts at Aunt Claudine's house. There was plenty of pictures from that. :)
