The Great Egg Drop

This afternoon was absolutely gorgeous and we went to the best egg hunt ever!  There were 20,000 eggs laid out in a grid with different sections for each age bracket.  That wasn't quite enough though, a helicopter came and dropped another 10,000 eggs.  It was pretty crazy.

 Max thought he was pretty funny while we waited for things to begin.  He has been to an egg hunt or two before and he knew that candy would be in his future.

 Then Will wanted to get in on the basket on the head action too.  He always wants to be just like his big brother!

 Before we knew it the time came for Will and Daddy to head out to the 1-3 hunt.  He wasn't so sure, but when he heard there might be tootsie roll in the eggs he was willing to give it a shot.  Will was so excited to open all his eggs while we waited for the next big event.

Will was even kind enough to share a bit of his candy with Max.  The boys were so patient while we waited for the big drop.  We talked about the helicopter at the egg hunt all week, so they were pretty excited about it.

The look on Max's face was he watched the helicopter drop the eggs was priceless. I have to admit that it was pretty crazy.  The helicopter hoovered just about 100 feet above the ground and dropped bag after bag of eggs on the field.  Max couldn't wait for his chance to run out and hunt them down. He didn't disappoint.  Considering this was his first egg hunt on his own he did great!
