More Easter Eggs

Another beautiful day here in South Carolina. I am so proud of my little cherry tree, the blooms are fantastic. So, of course, I had to take a picture. Nevermind that we are late for an Easter Egg Hunt.

We made it to Heritage Park just in time for the toddler Easter Egg Hunt. We enjoyed watching Tessa run around and pick up eggs.


There were 30,000 eggs and probably about that many people. Wow! Good thing this park is huge.

After lunch and a great nap, we dyed our own Easter eggs. Notice we are outside, I just knew we would make a huge mess. Tessa plopped the first egg right into the dye, she knew what to do. She loved stirring them and checking to see how the dye was absorbing.

Letting them dry was not nearly as much fun. Tessa and I played on the swingset while Daddy finished up the eggs.

And they turned out beautifully! Tessa was fascinated with these real eggs. She kept trying to open them like she does the plastic ones. The green one is now sporting a crackled effect thanks to Tessa manhandling it. Not a bad result for our first attempt at dyeing eggs.
