Easter Egg Grab

It's time, once again, for the City of Claremont Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt. I have no idea how many years our fair city has had this tradition, but when my daughters were young, they learned early on to make sure to be at the Egg Hunt part of the morning ON TIME.  At precisely 10:30, the police siren wails and the kids who have been held back by the thin lengths of string race forward and grab as many eggs as they can.  At precisely 10:31, all the eggs are in baskets and there is sure to be at least one child crying.  As one of their friends once noted, "It shouldn't be called an Easter Egg Hunt.  It should be called an Easter Egg Grab."  
Take your photo with the Easter Bunny
Make sure you bring a basket
Parents, make sure to keep your children in check...
Who knew that eggs come in boxes?
The 3-5-year old crowd
The 6-9-year olds need no help
