Brentwood City Egg Hunt

After the zoo on Thursday, we headed over to the Brentwood Library for the city's annual Easter egg hunt.

We tried to go to the hunt last year but ended up not getting to search for eggs and just staying in the library because a huge storm blew in with hail and tons of rain.

Besides the egg hunt, there was face painting (which neither of my boys were interested in doing), a jelly bean guess, and pictures with the Easter bunny.  We got in line right when we got there for pictures with the bunny and barely got it in before the egg hunt started (we had maybe 30 seconds to spare).

We randomly got in line behind one of the boys that was on Carter's soccer team in the fall, which worked out perfectly because then all the boys played nearby while we stood in line.  And Carter was super excited to see Aidan again!

As I expected, Rylan didn't want anything to do with the Easter bunny.  I didn't want to force him so here is Carter with the bunny!  At this point, Carter thought this was the real Easter bunny (he changed his mind after his experience with a bunny at Cheekwood, but that's be in another post).

After the picture, my mom ran across the egg fields with Carter to get to his area for the egg hunt - she barely made it.  Rylan and I only had to go a few feet to reach his field.

Rylan didn't even have an egg in his basket before looking for his next one (he dropped one a few times because he wasn't looking at what he was doing).

I didn't get any pictures of Carter hunting eggs, but he was excited about how well he did!

There were 30,000 eggs split between 4 sections based on age.  Every kid we saw ended up with a basketful of eggs, which is awesome.  And the boys were excited to find that all the eggs had a piece of candy in them (even though they've only eaten a couple of pieces so far and have already forgotten about it).

I love this cute picture of Carter!

And this picture too because it shows their very different personalities!

This was a great community egg hunt and we plan to be back next year!
