The Cheyenne Downtown Merchants Association hosted an Easter egg hunt today which we were excited to attend. It’s always fun to get out of the house and let Vaughan experience something new and fun. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t really cooperate with their plans for an outside hunt. So, they were forced to use their back up plan which was to have the hunt at The Plains Hotel across the street from the Cheyenne Deopt Plaza. It would have been great except that hundreds of people showed up and they weren’t really prepared for a crowd that large. Lots of kids ended up with no eggs at all because there weren’t enough to begin with and many of the parents of the young participants were not being very fair by only taking a few eggs. There were some tears (other kids…not Vaughan) and lots of frustration (mostly the parents), so it wasn’t really what I would call a fun day…but at least we did get out of the house for a while…and we saw some friends there, too.

Vaughan ended up with a few eggs (mostly due to a generous friend that Vaughan and Rick encountered during the hunt). He didn’t care much about how many he had. He played with those silly plastic eggs for quite some time after we got home.

We had to wait for quite a while before the hunt started, so Rick kept Vaughan busy by letting him play with his cell phone.
