This morning we headed out to our church for the Easter Extravaganza. Not having been to this before, we weren't fully sure what to expect, but had a hunch it would be well done. And it was.
Wow. Talk about a fun family event. This is so much larger than a Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens event, this is an event for the community. As best I could tell, there were a lot of community folks there today.
There was not only the egg hunt, but music--compliments of our Kingdom Quest Sunday School team; lots and lots of games; crafts; prizes, (candy); and plenty of laughter and fellowship for all.
The Easter Bunny was there to greet everyone. Connor was happy to get a picture with the bunny, Christian refused.
The games were a big hit. Check out Connor's form.
After a while playing games, Connor decided he needed to climb up on the chairs for a rest. (and to eat some candy. This kid ate every piece of candy that came his way. We're paying for it tonight)
There were kids everywhere.
As we waited for the go signal, we were reminded that Easter baskets make great hats.
Wait, there's a basket on my head!!
And, Connor's off in search of eggs.
As the preschoolers were lining up, Connor looked at me and said: "They didn't hide the eggs very good. I see them everywhere."
If you were wondering, there were a total of 5,950 eggs hunted today.
When Connor finished, he headed off to play.
Next up, Christian.
Hey Mommy, look at my eggs!
If you needed to find Pastor King, you just needed to look up.
And for the grand finale, everyone headed into the gym for the balloon drop.
Such a great time. It's especially great to be members of a church that intentionally provide events and service like this to the surrounding community. All in all, a great day.
Now, to fix our eyes on the joy that we will celebrate tomorrow at Easter.
