Governor's Mansion Easter Egg Hunt!

Addie and I had a fabulous time at the 2010 Governor's Mansion Easter Egg Hunt! We got there early and left late and Addie was still saying "I don't ever want to leave"! She had a blast. When we first got there is was a little cooler than everyone had expected. Luckily I brought our coats..it was around 50 degrees!
.

Even though it was an Easter Egg "hunt" it was really more like an Easter Egg "pick up". The eggs were scattered on the lawn and easy to find which was great for Addie's age! The kids 5 and under got to go first and then the bigger kids came shortly...and quickly after! Everyone was allowed 5-6 eggs! In this picture above Addie is eagerly waiting for the buzzer to sound so she can get her eggs!

.

We saw cutie pie Blair when we were there! We couldn't get the two to pose for a picture....maybe next year!

.

It was so cute watching how excited Addie would get when she found an egg......
.

Addie was so proud of her 4 eggs! She immediately wanted to eat the chocolate inside...Tootsie Rolls!
.

Addie was on the prowl for her 5th egg in this picture.....
.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day and the coats quickly came off when the sun came out! Everyone was then able to show off their cute Easter dresses!
.

Addie loved the Easter Bunny! We had to tear her away from him to give the other kids a chance. She kept running back to give him hugs or high fives or high tens! It was really cute!
.

Then the food began....and man did Addie make a dent in the food. First it was the little cups of popcorn.
.

As we waited in line to decorate our cupcake Addie is finishing up her second cup of popcorn....
.

The finished cupcake product...Mmm...it was so good!
.

Oh wait....is that a cookie in your hand.....why yes...it is!

.

Then another of Addie's favorite things...getting her face painted! Of course she wanted to be a ....bunny!

.

After we let the food (AKA--candy) settle we went back for a second round in the jumpy castle....another one of Addie's favorites!

We were one of the last cars to leave! Addie and I both had a fabulous time. As you can see in the picture we had to get one last cup of popcorn before we left (in the left of the picture) and Addie was soo exhausted. She fell asleep in the car before we even got to the interstate! Although the candy high kicked back in when we got home. She normally is in bed at 7:30 every night....well she didn't fall asleep until almost 9:30....Sugar High! We love eating junk food on days like today!
