Getting all three boys to smile at once, to look at the camera at once, and sit still long enough for a picture is something of an accomplishment. The occasion for which the boys were preparing was the annual Easter egg hunt at Clapp Park. That’s the one where scores of volunteers spend weeks stuffing hundreds of plastic eggs with individually wrapped candies so that swarms of children on a given signal can scoop them up in 45 seconds or less.
It’s made a little more interesting because some of the eggs have coupons in them redeemable for REAL prizes. We saw one little girl walk away proud and as excited as possible with a doll beauty parlor set.
So Jude, Cole, and Finn stood in one line (5 and under) with their parents while Connor went to the older kids’ line with his dad, his aunt Heather, and Grandma. Somehow, they all met up in the middle of the park.
