Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's Fantastic Easter Egg Hunt

Grandma and Grandpa Wilson threw the best Easter Egg hunt to date! We lucked out and the rain held off until later in the evening and at 4pm many friends and family gathered with easter baskets in hand to kick start the Easter Eve activities with a giant Easter egg hunt. And to make the "hunting" fair there were 2 age categories: Those who wear diapers and those who do not. The little ones hunted eggs in front of the house and had lots of fun and some even collected $1 gold coins. Easter bunny was loaded this year!!! After the toddlers hunted Easter eggs we turned our sights to the backyard where the big kids got to hunt eggs. Captain Butch was sure to give explicit instructions that if you were in Kindergarten or older you had to run all the way down to the fence and then collect eggs on your way back up while anyone who was still in pre-school (but not in a diaper) could start collecting eggs right away. There were shiny eggs with gold coins and clear eggs perched high upon branches that had race cars inside of them. As you can imagine the egg hunt ended quickly and so we celebrated some more by smashing confetti eggs on each other's heads. Below are a few pictures from yesterday's festivities with many more on Shutterfly to see!

Does anyone notice anything interesting about this picture?! How about the boatload of boys and 2 token girls?!?!
