Eggstravaganza!!


This morning I covered the annual Spring Eggstravaganza at Fort Benning. Hundreds of youngsters, and their families, gather on the lawn at Riverside, which is the home of the post commanding general, for Easter egg hunts, games and prizes.

The egg hunts were divided into age groups, which is a good thing. Otherwise, the big kids would overpower the little kids, and the little kids would come up empty-handed and very disappointed.
I photographed the young ones, and as one might expect, it was a mad rush for eggs and was all over in a matter of minutes. A clean sweep. Even with parents having been instructed to NOT pick up eggs for their children, but to let the kids gather for themselves. Lots of really cute kids.


I didn't get this little girl's name, but she is so small that she over ran her target as she tried to snag the egg before she came to a complete stop. Like a puppy or a kitten whose back legs begin to outrun its front legs. Pretty sweet.


Happy almost Easter,
Robin
