We went to the Citywide Easter Egg Hunt in Decatur Yesterday and the denial I had tried to hold onto was finally lifted. I had tried to convince myself that it wasn't that different here, but when we pulled up to the park and heard the musical entertainment, I was shocked. They were playing countrified gospel music!! Not the obvious choice for a children's event, but I guess it reflects the area. In better news, at least they had actual eggs (plastic though) for the kids to find instead of the paper cutouts they used in Evergreen Park. They let all of the kids go hunt at the same time, so the bigger kids dominated. Ashley was able to get one egg, but Ryan was to small to get any.
We discussed amongst ourselves ideas to make the hunt more fair, but in the end made our own egg hunt this morning. To paraphrase the commercial, "you live, you learn and then you have your own egg hunt!"
