The Running Of The Children

The town of Branford had its local Easter Egg Hunt in Foote Park this past weekend. It was a gorgeous day. Every year Branford cordons off a number of large rectangular areas, strews large handfuls of candy and plastic eggs filled with toys and more candy, and then lets the kids have at it, by age group. This year Nancy Ferlow was with us. She dubbed the event "the running of the kids", and she really nailed it.

We arrived about 20 minutes early, luckily, because they launched the kids about 10 minutes before the official starting time. We ran into a number of families heading in, on our way out.

As you can see, Sue completely filled her basket, and was one happy camper.
