Last year, I attempted an Easter Egg Hunt with both boys, by myself, while JB was working. (He worked a lot so going as a family wasn't quite possible.) The boys didn't really "get it" but we still got a couple of fun pictures:
Look how little they are!
Is that not Elijah or what!?
This year, my hubby is no longer a resident and so we were able to head over to Arkadas park as a family for an Easter Egg Hunt. The boys are much older and definitely "got it" this year. They also have had two mini hunts at co-op during the last two weeks that have allowed them to "get it" even more.
The Base did a great job of preparing for this hunt. They separated the park into sections based on age group, and, being the smart people they are, allowed the 0-3 year old group to go first!
JB explaining to the boys that they have to wait to cross the line until the lady says "Go!"
Posing with their truck baskets from Joni. Aren't those the cutest things?!
They kept holding hands while waiting for the lady to tell them they could start.
Elijah spots an egg that might be close enough to sneak in his truck before the gun!
... with one of their best buddies William.
... with one of my best buddies, Stebbs!
He's following the family rule: only jump in puddles if you have boots on.
Look at that face (Isaac)!
And look at that face (JB)! What a great husband and father he is. I love this man!
And we are off!
Elijah faces the forces of gravity yet again -- poor kid is so top heavy.
A bit muddy ...
... but he recovers quickly.
Great fun!!!!

You have some beautiful little boys!!
Just ran across your blog. My husband is also in the Air Force and is headed out for a deployment next week. He may be spending half of the summer in Turkey. :)
I'm so glad you got to do this; looks like they had a good time! And those are the coolest baskets:)
