The Easter Egg Hunt

The hole in our backyard fence to next apartment complex



Waiting for the hunt to begin

The George family neighbor Easter Egg hunt finally happened on Friday. It was a beautiful spring day and everyone was happy to be outside. Sarah and Hannah helped stuff 86 plastic eggs with stickers, chocolates, balloons, and candies. They were excited to be helpers--hiding the eggs and then assisting the preschoolers with the FIND. This was the first "hunt" for Manna, Laci, Matte, Marci, and Petra--all neighbors of ours.

Not only did we hide eggs in our backyard, but thanks to a large opening in the fence, we hid in the next door neighbors' yard as well. Kids (and parents) can now travel freely back and forth. This makes it easier to find someone to play with in the afternoons.

The HUNT didn't last too long, but what fun it to see the kids enjoying themselves so much. Opening the eggs and discovering the surprises inside brought squeals of delight. Chocolate was quickly eaten--and balloons blown up (and popped!). The adults had fun conversation and hung out for several hours. Our family really enjoys these times of building relationships with our Hungarian neighbors. We feel blessed to have such friendly ones.
