Pflugerville City Easter Egg Hunt 2009

The Pflugerville City Easter Egg Hunt is the first thing we participated in this year to start of the Easter festivities. This past Saturday we drove over to Heritage Park and enjoyed the city Easter activities. We had never been, so didn't know what to expect. It was a bit crowded but not nearly as crowded as the Austin City Easter Egg Hunt that we did last year. There was a train, clowns, petting zoo, bouncy toys, pony rides and the Easter bunny there to enjoy.



Ellie and Owen waiting in line.
Dad stayed with Maggie while Mom, Elise and Owen rode the train. This was definitely Owen's favorite part.
Owen receiving his airplane balloon (you can see Ellie's flower balloon in the background)-- less than a minute later the kids put the balloons on the ground and they popped.
Miss Mags being so sweet and patient in her stroller. She likes to people watch anyway.
Ellie got her face painted (Owen wasn't interested). She wanted flowers and so flowers is what she got!
The crowds started to become a little crazy as the hunt time neared, so we spent some time on the playground until it was time to stake our claim by the 'hunting grounds'.
Here the kids (and a friend they found along the way) spotted some ladybugs in the grass while we waited for the egg hunt to start. The ladybugs kept them distracted!
Not too shabby!! Surprisingly, they both got right in there and picked up a BUNCH of eggs (also a bunch of candy in those eggs). It was a fun start to all of our Easter fun. I imagine that most of the posts coming up will be about Easter.

Wow, you guys have been busy! Easter has really snuck up on me. We need to go do fun things, so thanks for inspiring me. :) BTW, you look great!

What an easter egg haul! I'm impressed. I hope you're more successful than we were in rationing the spoils. Ellie's face flowers look great, as does anything she wears. I'm not surprised that Owen didn't want any face paint. That's a lot to ask of a guy even at his age. Maggie is getting so grown up -- and still so cute. Grandpa couldn't be more pleased.

Love, Grandpa Weber

Was Owen worn out after capturing his haul? :) That train looks so fun! Love Elie's hair.
