Egg Hunt at Coonamessett Farm

Saturday dawned nice and sunny (if a bit of a chill in the air).  Meeps is visiting, so the kids and I headed over to the Comfort Inn pool for a little swim with Meeps.  AFter lunch we headed off to Coonamessett Farm for the Easter Egg Hunt.  Jeff had been there all morning helping his students help Ron and Roxanna.  It was a great thing the middle school students were there as the farm ended up with an unexpected record attendance for the egg hunt!  They do a wonderful job, every child tries to find three eggs and when they find them they bring them back (this year to the new educational building) and get a cookie or a brownie to decorate.  Braeden was feeling a bit grumpy by the time he was decorating the brownie and did not want his picture taken.  He had gone home from school early on Thursday with a fever and stayed in Friday recuperating.  Saturday he was out longer than I would have liked, but he seems better anyway!

Jeff and the middle school students did a marvelous job!  They seemed to be having fun, working hard, and were great examples of what 11-13 year old students can be if entrusted and treated with respect.
