Easter Egg Hunt Take Two

On Sunday, we took Grace to her second Easter Egg Hunt of the year. This was a Southwest Austin community hunt sponsored by the YMCA. It was perfect for Grace and her little friends. They had crafts and face painting, games and a moonwalk - they even had a petting zoo! Add all that to the Hunt and a free lunch (hot dogs, Frito pies and ice cream) and you just can't go wrong.

The first thing Grace did was make a Bunny Ear hat - which she is still wearing daily. Of course, she puts it on backwards, but hey - it has actually kept her attention! After that, she went to get her face painted! Thanks to her cousin Sarah, she is ALWAYS wanting her face painted. She picked out a pink glitter Easter Egg.


Kate and Aubrey (along with their parents) were also there, making it even more fun for Grace. As soon as the girls finished getting their faces painted, we headed towards the hunting grounds. Grace knew exactly what was going on this time and was eager to get started. I took the camera so Daddy could have some fun with her hunting. Together, the two of them found one of the two prize eggs! I'm not sure who was having more fun, the child or the grown up! There were no egg limits this time and Grace had so much fun finding them.
After the Hunt, we all had lunch. Grace got a Hot Dog, but between the candy, chips, cookies and ice cream, I don't think that she had even one bight of it!

There was an Easter Bunny there to take photos with. Grace didn't mind at all. She went right up to him, climbed on his lap and smiled for the camera. She couldn't understand why in the world Aubrey didn't want to sit on his lap. You can see her freaking out here!

Here she is deep in conversation with the Easter Bunny:

She is dismayed because Aubrey "made the bunny sad" by not sitting on his lap:

We then took the girls to the petting zoo. Unlike other zoos before, this one had a pig in it...and Grace enjoyed checking out a "real" piggy tail. She was also able to hold a bunny (I'm sure she enjoyed that more than the bunny did!), pet some ducklings and chicks, hug a baby goat and talk to a pony.
