The Great Easter Egg Hunt

We went to an Easter egg hunt at the Reid Park Zoo, which is near our house. Ben enjoyed the hunt immensely — I tried not to ambush those kids who took more than their share (the older kids were supposed to stop after 8 eggs and let the younger kids find the rest, and you can guess how that worked out). Ben only found two eggs until the very end, when he and daddy found another egg hiding out in a forgotten corner. He was very proud of finding that one. Afterwards, the zoo staff brought out animals the children could pet, including a lizard, a snake, a guinea pig and a turtle. Ben was okay with all of them, although he hesitated a bit with the snake. After the festivities we walked through the zoo with some friends, stopping at the bronze elephant for pictures, of course. It was a very nice first easter egg hunt for Ben.
