Boys on a HUNT!

Every year since we have lived in our quaint little town, we have taken the boys to the town park the Saturday before Easter for an egg hunt. I can remember our first year, it was just Jack and now it has grown to all three of the Morra boys..even the middle one with the "faux hawk!"
We even added on a cousin - baby Henry! (He so LOVES to walk with some help, even though he can TOTALLY walk on his own!!!) Jackie and Steve surprised us by popping to our house when the egg hunt in their nearby town started earlier than had been advertised so they had missed it! On a quick side note...Henry made the front page of our town paper...a full color pic as he was eating one of the plastic eggs he found! Too cute and already a model at the young age of one year!
We all divided up since all the four boys were in different age groups. I went with Luke and since I had the camera I was able to get this "action" shot of Luke getting the egg. He only managed to find four eggs and even though, he required some "coaxing" from me to actually pick them up!
Here is Baby Henry on his hunt...notice Uncle Steve is holding an egg with his right foot while Jackie steers him in the right direction???
After all the hunts were over, it was time for the kids to check out their loot!!! They all got TONS of candy and fruit snacks!
Because it was SO nice at the park, we all opted to hang out there for a little while! The boys played the most on the big red train! Here was a cute shot of Nick!
After a while though, it was time to head home. Dan, Nick, Luke and Uncle Steve were all ready to leave...here they are heading toward the car.
Notice that Jack is missing??? Aunt Jackie had to pick him up and haul his bottom to the car! In this picture though, it looks like Jack is catching up to Aunt Jackie's height...and he is only 7! (I had the easy boy...Baby Henry!!!)
The weather was great and the eggs were abundant...thanks to the Evening Lions club who hide ALL the eggs every year!
