On Saturday, the day before Easter, we went to an Egg Hunt called Operation Orange Egg Drop. It was put on by a church in Portland at a park. What happened was they had a helicopter drop 15,000 orange plastic Easter eggs from a helicopter. They had all of the age groups split up and when it was time the kids ran and filled their buckets with orange eggs. The eggs were empty and after all of the egg hunting was over the kids turned their found eggs in for a goodie bag. It was nice because no matter if your child found 1 egg or 100 eggs, everyone received a goodie bag! It was pretty fun to see all of the eggs dropped from a helicopter! That was for sure the highlight!
Peyton was a little overwhelmed, and did not want to go out an pick up eggs with the mass crowd of kids. So, she missed out on getting eggs.
Madison found so many eggs her bucket was over flowing! She gave Peyton 1/2 of her eggs! It was so sweet the way she wanted to give them to Peyton... we didn't even ask her to give any up.
Both girls were thrilled with their goodie bags!
After the egg hunt we were all hungry and stopped by a food cart area called Cartlandia. There was any and every kind of food to choose from. The girls had a hot dog, Bry had a Philly Steak Sandwich, and I had Chicken Fried Rice. It was soooo yummy!
What a nice day! We were happy to have a day with no rain and to finally get out and about!
Maddie enjoyed a Huge shaved ice for a treat after lunch.

Oh such good times. Glad for a sunny day for all of you. Love, Gram BL Sargent
That must have looked so crazy! Raining orange Easter eggs! Wow. What a neat idea though.
I'm glad they get to participate in these things. We miss the community things like these, there aren't many out here.
