Today I took Jackson to his 1st Easter egg hunt. I had pictured it oh so perfectly. Jackson would look so cute in his pastel clothes. He would hold my hand and waddle to an egg on a warm sunny day. Then he'd wonder what it was, pick it up and stick it in his mouth to farther investigate. He would be happy. I would get a picture of the kids picking up their eggs gracefully. A mom would volunteer to take a picture of me helping Jackson find an egg. And another of Jackson sitting in the grass happily playing with his plastic egg.
hahahahhaha! Sometimes my imagination gets a little carried away. So here's the real story...
Jackson woke up slightly grumpy once we arrived at the park only to be tussled around in order to get a hat, shoes, and two more layers of clothing on. Because in reality it was cloudy and 39 degrees!
We waiting a couple minutes until the egg hunt began. Everyone was suppose to be able to get 6 or 7 eggs. The buzzer sounded and the hunt was completed 60 seconds later. No joke!
Jackson only got one egg.
I tried to pose him for pictures but he decided otherwise.
It was far from the story in my imagination but an adventure all the same!
