Shirts or no shirts they all had fun and came out with some really pretty eggs. We had 5 kiddies and 5 colors of egg dye so everyone got to do one egg and then passed their color of dye to the next person. This worked great for a while and then everyone started to grab to get their favorite colors until the eggs were all colored.
As you can see Hunter was really concentrating to get just the right shade of blue. Funny how some were patient enough to get bright colors and some were more impatient, they ended up with the pastel colors. Either way they were pretty.
Now onto the "glow in the dark" egg hunt. I had seen the idea on Pinterest and really wanted to try it. So I found some glow in the dark bracelets and talked Julie and Carrie into stuffing them into the eggs. They really had to shove them in to get the eggs to shut. While the kids were busy coloring eggs they went out and hid the glow in the dark eggs. I tried to take a picture but since it was dark the flash went off and you couldn't see the eggs. Take my word for it tho, it looked really cool. The kids loved it. Down side to it all tho, we noticed some of the liquid in the glow in the dark bracelets started to leak since they were stuffed so tightly into the eggs. We decided to be on the safe side we needed throw them all away. The kiddies were pretty disappointed but better safe than sorry. Of course later on we found the dog eating some of them and it didn't bother her.
I had another game to play after the egg hunt but unfortunately it was getting late and the parents were ready to get the kids home so that they could get to bed for the Easter Bunny to visit them. Maybe next year. Fun was had by all tho. I think the glow in the dark egg hunt needs to become a tradition at Grandma's house. Oh by the way...I hear I could have bought glow in the dark eggs at Walmart. That probably would have been much easier. Next Year.
