15,000 Egg Pick-Up

I mentioned yesterday how the kids cleaned up the yard like a vacuum. I don't think you understand just how fast they did this. In 8 minutes flat, they had picked up every egg. Breaking none. It was very impressive.

Here they come!

There they go!

Everyone ran, like they couldn't get enough eggs.

And some baskets were just too small for the loot.

Some 'cracked' under the pressure.

Notice the complete lack of eggs.

Time to find a new area.

This little girl had no legs below the knee. She was extremely proficient at getting around.

When all was said and done, every kid went home with more eggs and candy than they could ever handle.

Don't worry, for those who were unable to leave the hospital, plenty of eggs were set aside just for them so they would not miss out.

This was the best day all in all. It was a great day for a ride, it was inspiring to watch, and I think we all felt good helping out.
