Yes, Hanover County has a rural character to it and more than its share of hunters, but last Saturday, we did not need a license to go on a hunt. Rather, it was time for the local Easter egg hunt. This is actually the first time we’ve taken Will to this event, and despite the overcast skies and rain for much of the preceding week, it actually went well.
Kids up to age 8 can participate, but they break them into waves. Ages 7 and 8 felt almost like a scrum, though no one really pushed up against each other. Rather, it was just a frenetic pace. Ages 5 and 6 (which Will was in) was much more laid back and non-competitive. And ages 3 and 4 was just rather sweet, as the kids were probably trying to figure out what all of the fuss was about, although they could at least see the candy and understand a reason to get that. 2 and under was done with adult supervision.
So Will got a decent amount of candy. He’s been parading around the house with it, though he hasn’t really broken into it much to eat it. And I’m cool with that. My parents were also down visiting this past weekend, which allowed Kellie to get on my dad’s mobile ham radio gear and make some contest contacts.
