This is the first year that I let Baylee dye the eggs and she did so well. We only had one spill and that is when Momma was not paying attention and she grabbed an egg and threw it in the orange dye. It splashed all over her and the rest of us. She learned real fast that she needed to be careful.
So It is April and Boise gets snow!! The hunt was in Mountain Home and we heard that they had gotten 3 inches of snow so we had to break out the snow boots and gloves and all the other great winter gear so we could go hunt the eggs in the snow. Baylee loved it! She still keeps putting on the boots everytime we tell her to get her shoes on. I am afraid she might end up wearing her snow boots with her shorts this summer.
This is Baylee and I waiting for the hunt to begin. She hunts in the 0-4 age group. I figured she would run after the eggs but she took her sweet time.
She was able to find 18 eggs. Next year Jon says he is going to work on her going faster. She really did take her sweet time getting the eggs.
Baylee and several other little kids her age decided it would be fun to hide the eggs for the older kids. After the adults put the eggs out they went around and gathered them into piles and pulled them out of there hiding places. We had to get them to throw them back out before the hunt began.

Then it was daddy's turn. He knows how to go fast. He came in Third place. It was very cold during the Adult hunt and kept getting colder but Baylee would not go inside she had to go with daddy to find the eggs. She loved every minute of the day. Her hands were so cold and she was covered in mud by the end but had a huge smile on her face when she fell to sleep.
