We then were ready for the "egg hunt" at Gilman Village. I keep putting "egg hunt" in quotations cause it was NOT an egg hunt! It was our first time there, but I guess they changed the format this year. So instead of a hunt, they had participating stores hand out eggs at their doorways. So, very similar to our experience at Bellevue Square at Halloween time. That works for a large mall with wide walkways. Not so much at Gilman. It was a big, ugly, disorganized mess. After getting a few eggs, we decided to bail and hit another hunt. You know, one where they actually hunt for eggs.
So we left and went to Eastridge Christian Assembly. What a nice change! They were organized into four age groups and their respective hunting areas. Tons of eggs for the kiddos and Evan had a great time! Definitely a do-again next year.

After all of the eggs were gathered, we went back to the starting point and emptied the goodies so that they could recycle the eggs. Besides the candy treats, Evan also was lucky to get a slip of paper that said to claim a special prize. Score! Turned out to be a Dora whistle/bubble blower. He made a comment like, "I don't want that. I'm not a girl." But I told him either he gets that prize or none at all and he decided the prize was fine.
So all in all, a fun egg-hunting day. Next year will be interesting with Ellena in the mix!

so sad about sweet addition. I would take Addie there almost every Friday for lunch. Too bad about their egg hunt too. We had a blast there last years althoug it was kind of a crazy mob.
