Egg-Stravaganza!!

As our neighborhood egg hunt was not very successful, we decided to attempt our city Easter egg hunt. I was pleasantly surprised at how organized and prepared the planners were of this event. We made it just in time for Mason's age group, and there were plenty of eggs for everyone.
 After the egg hunt, we started to walk around the park and who did we see?? Why, the Easter Bunny of course! For the rest of the time we were there, Mason would ask us to go see the bunny. He even gave it a high-five!
 
Robert saw the mini ponies and asked Mason if he wanted to ride them. Mason seemed to enjoy, but my kid prefers fast and high rides. After the pony ride he saw a bungee trampoline (which he has done in the past) and pulled Robert to it. The gentlemen would not let Mason on it being as he does not weight 40 lbs. Personally, I don't think the guy knew what he was talking about, but that's neither her nor there. 
Again, Miss Autumn watched all from her stroller. I looked for something she could do and came up empty handed. Next year for sure! 
Since Mason could not do the bungee ride, we let him do the huge moonwalk contraption. Well, actually there were two but on the second one he did not want to come down the slide. After what seemed like forever (but was probably only 10 minutes) he went down the slide. This picture shows the slide he went down without a hitch. The other slide was much taller and steeper, so I could see why he was a little nervous. 
Strangely, mason didn't really want to try any of the carnival games (there were a good 20 games surrounding us). Instead, he made his way to the park where we spent the last 30 minutes letting him play and swinging with Autumn. Mom saw a kid do this and convinced mason to give it a try. So cute :) 
After all this fun it was way past our dinner so we headed to the local Mexican place to have some grub. Both kids ate like champions (maybe we should do this more often??). As we were walking back to our truck, the party was still in progress and Mason started pointing at it and saying he wanted to go back.

Next year, kid, next year.
