Eggstravaganza

Each year our church hosts an Eggstravaganza for the community. They have games, bounce houses, a petting zoo, and egg scrambles (a big field where they throw all the eggs out for kids to get vs. an egg hunt) for different age groups. Last year we took Parker but since he was only 4 months old we simply strolled him around and showed him off. This year I was curious to see if he would enjoy picking up the eggs. Jonathan has been sitting up for the past month so I was hoping for a cute picture sitting in the field of eggs. The small problem came when both boys fell asleep on the way there. Since their age group was the first up for the egg scramble, there was not much time for them to get good and awake so my plans for pictures didn't turn out real well. Jonathan cried and I think mainly because he did not like the feel of the grass. Parker sat dazed but did eventually get up and walk with Mark although he never caught on to actually picking up the eggs and putting them in his basket. Oh well, we will try again next year!

Notice all the adults around helping the babies pick up eggs!


The best part was when Parker discovered the ducks from the petting zoo. He was not a fan of going inside the fence to pet the animals but loved looking at them from the outside. He has been taking steps on his own when he wanted to and the ducks provided some good motivation. We kept putting him away from the fence and he would walk to see them. He is quite captivated by them. Bear with me as I was trying to take pics of him walking.
