Ducros Easter Egg Hunt

Each year we go to the annual Ducros Easter Egg Hunt. Ducros is a plantation home between Houma and Thibodaux that some of our very close family friends bought in 1994. They have redone it and continued to keep its historical significance. Each year they host 2 large events at the home: a huge Easter egg hunt for kids and adults of all ages and a Halloween party with the plantation turning "haunted". For Easter, everyone packs a picnic lunch, camps out under the big oak trees surrounding the home and plays games from sack races, egg spoon races, Easter bonnet competition, and OF COURSE the huge egg hunt!!! The grounds are so big that each age group has a section with the section behind the huge home being the "team hunt" where adults and kids hunt together in groups of 3. In each hunt there are 3 hidden carrots (that the Easter bunny himself hides the night before the picnic), a hidden golden egg, and DOZENS of hidden eggs. I have been SOOO excited that this year would be Easton's first year to hunt in the 0-3 yr old age group. Each child in this group gets to hunt with one "chaperone" for help :)

"I'm ready for this Mom!! Let's go!!"

Our little Easter Egg :)

He was actually very comfortable in the basket doing this. Several ladies stopped and asked if they could take pictures of him in there. Guess we should have charged!

They are the owners of this beautiful house!

Half of the participants for the 0-3 yr olds lining up to start the hunt! Time to go get Easton!!.....

Wait WHAT?!?!?! NO!!!! How is he sleeping?!?! This is the moment I've been waiting for!!! And the subtle breeze and the rocker on the front porch put him to sleep!!! AHHHH!!!

So mommy did the hunt herself for E and got him a prize :)

As soon as I got back to him he was awake! He looked at his prize in amazement at first....

Then of COURSE it went directly in his mouth :) I'm sure that's safe and all....

Hanging out with my Pa in his seer sucker too :) I truly believe Easton could have rocked on the front porch all day. This is one Southern baby!!!
