How did Easter Egg Hunting go for your little ones?

Dallas is 9 1/2 months old...I just sat him down on the ground, let him try to pick up an egg then let him play with it for a little while...then got him up and went and found another egg...he was more interested in the grass and leaves and stuff (this was his first time getting to sit on the ground)...





That, and as you can see, he tried to eat one of the yellow eggs...





Just wondering how it went for your little ones...especially the first timers...How did Easter Egg Hunting go for your little ones?
Jacey wasn't all that interested, she would see an egg and go pick it up, then she would get bored and start playing with something else, mostly with something she wasn't supposed to play with.LOL.





Hopefully she'll be more interested next year when she is older. She just turned 10 months on the 10th.How did Easter Egg Hunting go for your little ones?
I have 2 children, a 4year old daughter %26amp; 7month old son. Our Easter was great :)





As for the Easter Egg Hunting, lol. My daughter did great, since she's 4.





But with our son we decided to let his Daddy carry him around and hunt for eggs. I also have a 10month old nephew so we let his Daddy carry him around and hunt as well. It was more cause the Dad's are bigger kids. But the funny part was that my son is like a big WEIGHT. He is a big boy. Weighing 20lbs at 7months. So all his pictures of his egg hunt are of him hanging cause he was so heavy running around in the heat hunting for egss. Half way through the hunt he did a hand off to Grandma, lol. Then as soon as that happened my son fell instantly asleep. So that was pretty much his Easter, lol.
We aren't going to do an Easter Egg Hunt next year, unless it's just at home around our house, or with the church. We went to the community hunt at the baseball diamonds, and doing that with a barely-turned-2 year old was awful. He just didn't understand why he had to stand around with everyone else and not go run around until they said it was time. He had fun picking up eggs, but he kept wanting to run over and look at the cool big prizes they had, and he refused to stay close to me because he was so excited. It was a big struggle, but it was my fault, not his.





So, next year I'm definitely happy to do an egg hunt around our yard, Grandma's yard, Auntie's yard, or to go to the one at the church, but the whole ';stand around with a ton of strange kids and adults for 10 minutes, then run and scramble to pick up eggs the fastest with out having to hunt for them'; kinda thing just isn't going to work.
My daughter is too young but I hid eggs around the house and my husband took her in her carrier and when he found an egg he would put it in a basket that was in her carrier and I just took pictures haha. But my neices and nephew came over and they had a blast :) (ages 8,5, and 4
