Hunting eggs the Coastie way...

I have been to many Easter Egg hunts in my life, eggs in the grass, a bush, the trees, but none as fabulous as the one my 3 girls attended this Easter. This year one of the sweet Coastie wives thought it would be a fun idea to do something at the station for Easter...she rallied the troops and the end result was the BEST Easter egg hunt I have ever attended:) There were more eggs than could be needed for 50 kids, let alone the handful of Coastie kids that were there to hunt them, baskets were so full they were falling out left and right, the adults wasted no time 'helping' the kids pick those lost eggs up;) The best part of the hunt was the location. As usual Easter morning on the Oregon coast was a sky full of rain, so my husband and the other guys on duty(whose only duty that day was to hide the dozens of eggs the wives had filled at ladies night that week) decided what better place to hide all these eggs than the haul out....thus leading to the best egg hunt...EVER!






Is it cheating since he helped hide the eggs??


where else do kids get to hunt for eggs in life jackets?!


Loving all the fun places you can find eggs in the haul out at the Coast Guard station...mine are the luckiest kids in the world!!!


diving into their treasures....perfect day, and perfect egg hunt! Thank you Jessica and all the other wifey's that helped with this fun egg hunt! Thank you Daddy and the boys for being the best egg hiders out there!!! Daddy enjoying the yum yums from the hunt... Happy Easter!
