Ivins Easter Egg Hunt 2012

Adult Easter egg hunt, Hunger Games style

We our loving out new little town of Ivins and all of the fun traditions they have here.  It's such a friendly place to live!  We hustled out the door at 5min to 9am (when the hunt started) and sped over to Unity Park.  Ronnie dropped Chloe and I off in the parking lot and we hustled to the baseball field, and made it right when the count down started!  Ivins is SERIOUS about their Easter egg hunts!  We filled Chloe's basked as much as we could and then the city princesses made up for the rest, including a basket for Avery.  Next, they had the adult Easter egg hunt and if I thought the kid's hunt was serious, it was nothing compared to the adult's!  Everyone circled around the eggs, Hunger Games style and squatted down like runners waiting for the gun.  Once it started, you could tell the seasoned hunters from the novices, such as myself, because they had a strategy!  They ran right in the middle and plopped on the ground, covering as many eggs with their bodies as they could, then grabbed them out from under them and stuffed their baskets.  It think I got like, 6 eggs, total, but it was still a blast :)
