The Egg Drop

This year we went somewhere new!

The Church on Strayer.

 

The event was the annual egg drop.

 

Drop? Drop from where?

 

A HELICOPTER!

 

First things first. We signed in and attached his wrist band. The band holds his name and my phone number.

Good idea....there were A LOT of people.

Look at all those eggs!!
The helicopter drops a bunch more, but the eggs are for the most part all spread out in fenced areas.

Not a secure fence by any means.

Little stinker was able to reach one.

He is ready for the egg hunt!

That turns out didn't start for over an hour after we arrived.

The website said 5:00. We got there at 4:30. Reality it didn't begin until 5:45.

OH, the disappointment!

Just kidding!

We found room to RUN!

Stone walls to scale.

 

 I couldn't believe it at first. He made it.

Don't you dare jump!

Want to climb it again?

Want to try a bigger wall? hehehe

Grandma and Grandpa joined us.

One to take pictures and TWO people to keep eyes on him.

It's almost time!!

He is ready.

We hear it coming....

The helicopter circles both fields before returning to the younger section. The younger sections was for 5 and under. This is where we stayed. The other area was for the big kids and parents weren't not permitted to enter. I would have lost him for sure in that mess!

Everyone was waving and cheering.

Yeaaaaahhh!!

Ready.....GO!

Each child was permitted to pick up 10 eggs. 

Want to guess how that was monitored??

It wasn't.

I believe Gavin left with 17. I did witness some of the volunteers stopping kids with overflowing bags and asking them to put some back (I saw kids with 40+ eggs easily in their "luggage" they brought.)

All those eggs were gone in minutes.

It looks a bit crowded, but it really wasn't bad at all.

After all, It's Easter. Everyone was pleasant and having a good time :)

I look forward to going again next year!
