Egg Huntin' in Hilo

We braved the crowds this morning at the Hilo Parks and Rec Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Definitely not an event for those who don't like crowds or slight disorganization...
Apparently they decided to do things "differently" this year and hold the under 4 egg hunt in a contained space- parents NOT allowed. I guess it's because in previous years, parents were bulldozing toddlers so that they could gather as many eggs as possible. Sounds like a good change except that instead there were crying toddlers who didn't want to go in to hunt without mommy or daddy and parents yelling to their kids through the fence "pick up the eggs! pick up the eggs!!"
Anyway, I wasn't sure Lance would go in, but after talking strategy with daddy and joining up with his best buddy Cruz, he went for it! Something about our little guy walking across the batting cage with his empty bag all by himself heading for the eggs was too cute to capture on film. But anyway, here are a few photos and a short video of Lance's success in his first easter egg "hunt." The best part? The eggs were all filled with hard candies that are obviously a complete choking hazard for kids in this range! Only in ol' Hilo town... only in Hilo.
