The kids are split into age groups so it is not a stampede. Or so I thought. Jack was in the 5 and 6 year old group. This place was Craaaaazy! Here is Jack trying to look past the sea of GROWN UPS at the start line.
Come on! You send these kids off to school ALONE every day, right? Do they really need your help finding eggs filled with candy laying around a baseball field? I think not, but apparently I am in the minority here.
Some of these folks are throwing elbows. Check out the girl in the center bonking the little guy in the head. And the mommy in black almost plowing over her little boy...
And the poor little firekid running around aimless without his own parental assistance..
Yowsa! Run, little one! Run like the wind!!!
Jack managed to do OK. He held his own even without Mom and Dad hoarding his eggs.
Jack managed to do OK. He held his own even without Mom and Dad hoarding his eggs. Riley's group was next. These were the babies (0-3) so I did expect some adult "help" here. we were lined up and ready to go...listening to the rules. Here is what Riley heard.
blah...blah...blah...
"Hello...tap, tap tap...is this thing on... "
Apparently someone's little brat needed a head start...ahem...oh, wait. That one is mine.
Anyway, she decided she was done with Steve-O's rules and was ready. (I am not sure if you can click on this pic or not, but if you can, check out the lady in the White sweater behind Riley. She's HORRIFIED! hee hee hee...)
Ready, Set, GO!Well cheating didn't help. She would only pick the "preeettty" eggs. Pinks and purples. Only. 
A great time had by all with only minor injuries sustained.
More Easter antics on the way...
We still got about 15.
There was a kid standing there crying who seriously got ZERO eggs because so many of these parents were actually running around collecting eggs to fill their TODDLERS' baskets with. I thought "oh how sad" and went on my way.
Here is when I am glad I married Steve. He took most of Riley's eggs and snuck over and tossed them behind that kid and said "hey, look! There's more!" He's a sweet boy. Don't tell him I said so.

Dude! That's wild! Looks like all had a blast.
OMG....I am laughing so hard over here! OK, I couldn't click on the picture. However......I saved it, opened it up and blew it up so I could see the chick in the white sweater. Really? People are so funny.....really!
Steve is a good person! I actually got teary eyed! Way to go Steve.
It looks like it was a great time anyway. We don't usually go to easter egg hunts.....Mara would get trampled on!
Was there at least money in them? Really....?
Looks like fun! And I am so with you with the kids get their own easter eggs thing. Afterall, do they really need thousands of them? Let's make life into one enormous competition, where you only win if your parents aren't able to stop parenting you... sounds great hey?!
Tell that woman that JACK is not an Easter Egg. Very scary.
:-)
I couldn't click on the horrified woman.. poop...
you are hilarious.
