Easter Egg Hunting

I‘ve always had difficulty bridging the relationship between the eggs and the significance of the Christian Easter story, but watching the kids chase after these little neon-colored ovals with glee helps assuage these discontinuities.  The kids had a great time in both the pre-school event as well as our friend Maria’s Easter Hunt.

Christine found some felt buckets for Anders and Arden.   Last year, Anders had a harder time getting into the spirit of the egg hunt.  This year he quickly found his groove and Arden followed after.

Later that week, Anders and I found neon-plastic chips littering all the parks in the area.  Easter also brings its own unique form of waste; hopefully, one day these plastic eggs will be made to be decomposable.
