Rosalind's First Outing-the Botanical Gardens Easter Egg Hunt!

One week after Rosalind was born, we headed to the Missouri Botanical Gardens (MOBOT) for the EGGstravaganza Easter Egg Hunt-hunts running every 1/2 hour in two categories 2-5 and 6-12 year olds.  Here Hux is practicing his running skills in preparation for the hunt.




At the starting line, Hux is excited!

Although he could have picked up to 10 eggs (scattered on the ground-not actually hidden), he chose to pick up only 3.  Perhaps this was due to the insane amount of parents who went with their children despite the instructions to try and let kids go by themselves--I and two other parents stayed behind-everyone else charged ahead with children so Hux was a bit intimidated...  At any rate-I was proud of his cheerful willingness to only take three.  My mom reminds me this is like my own first trick-or-treating when I went to three houses and then said "I'm done!" -much to the disappointment of my father and his anticipation of a good haul!
