Easter Egg Hunt

Today was the Easter Egg Hunt held by Sofia's school. Sofia was excited to go to the hunt and so was I. I have never been to an Easter egg hunt so I wasn't sure what to expect. The day was beautiful and we happily headed out to the Suchdol Woods. We hopped on the bus that we take to Sofia's school but stayed on it for 3 more stops. We got off and walked to the woods. At the entrance to the woods we collected our bags (to collect candy) as well as our map of the wood trails. We met up with Sofia's friend, Elisabetta, and her brother and parents and walked through the woods together. It was fun for the kids to be together and it was nice for the parents to get to talk while we walked through the woods. At each candy station the kids had to answer questions in order to receive their candy. At one station the kids had to choose a song to sing and then we all had to sing together. Twice we came upon two different "rabbits". Two of the teachers were dressed up as rabbits and gave the kids more candy. Sofia was a little nervous until she realized the white rabbit was Mr Chisholm whom she loves. (We don't know who was in the brown rabbit costume but Sofia tells us it was a high school teacher. ) Ali couldn't be convinced though and was very afraid of the rabbits. Chocolate couldn't convince Ali to go to the rabbit so we just moved on. At the end of the hunt there was a small BBQ so we sat in the sun on the edge of the woods and enjoyed drinks and hot dogs. The kids played together and had a great time. It still makes me laugh how beer is available at any event in Prague. We would never have a school event in the U.S. where beer would be available but here is Prague it does not stand out as anything strange. In any event everyone had a great time and no one (including the parents) wanted to leave when it was time to go.
