3rd Annual Pasadena Friends Easter Egg Hunt

I love these kinds of traditions with good friends. Funny how few remain of the original crew that started it 3 years ago. Pasadena seems to be a transition place for a lot of families. Check out the picture below from 2009. We sure miss the Gunns, Willards, Howes & Andersons (to name a few). Good thing all the new people that have come since then are pretty cool too!

This year was bring your own picnic lunch (In-n-Out burgers for us), and though it was pretty chilly, at least the clouds cleared for pictures and the hunt. This year we wised up a bit and let the little ones start first. Max was pretty stoked to be considered part of the BIG KID group that swept through nabbing all that remained.

Some of the crew

Last year it was Max who had the anger management issues. This year it was Tate. I'm sure the interrupted nap schedule & failure to eat lunch had a little something to do with it.

Or Maybe he's just a prima-dona. Note the progression of anger.

His mood picked up a bit when he got to hunt for eggs. He didn't quite grasp the concept, but managed to collect a few. Max was a master sleuth and found a lot.

He was kind enough to share a few of the smaller eggs he found with his brother.

We brought our Jumbo Ball for the kids to play with. They sure got a kick out of it.

Thanks to Grandpa Holmes for blowing it up. Well, at least Mike & I are looking at the camera.

Hoppy Easter from the Brownstein Family :)
