Jax Early Easter Egg Extravaganza

Jackson and Daddy went to a "Jeep Party" this afternoon at a friend's house in the woods near Warrenton. This party is an annual tradition of the Northern Virginia Jeepers Association, a group of our Jeep owning friends, and brings together families and friends for food, fun, and of course an Easter egg hunt!
Jack had a blast! He chased the other kids across the large yard, kicked a soccer ball back and forth, climbed a gravel mountain, and stayed busy for hours.
After lunch the Easter egg hunt began. Plastic eggs filled with candy, toys, and money(!) were scattered all over the front yard and quite a few were cleverly hidden. Jackson was the youngest by a year or two so he was allowed to go into the front yard first. He very quickly found many eggs and filled his basket half full. The other children were brought into the egg hunt soon after Jack started and everyone raced around grabbing eggs and having fun. Miss Tara helped direct Jack to some of the well-hidden eggs, and donated her pockets to carrying eggs that would not fit into Jack's now full bucket. (Thanks Tara!)
After all of the eggs were found the kids gathered on the front porch to examine their loot and trade for favorite candies.

The rest of the afternoon was spent playing and watching Jeeps traverse the mini rock garden at the back of the property. Jack helped spot several Jeeps over the tricky rocks and also drove Daddy's radio controlled Jeep across the rocks.
A great day with NovaJeepers!
