Easter eggs

My NCAA bracket is in disarray. The only hope that I have rests with Georgetown getting to the final. An unlikely event, and it won't win me our pool anyway since someone near the top of the standings has G'town winning it all. But at least it would get me out of my current 29th position (out of 32.) Abby, on the other hand, having lost both Pitt and Connecticut from her Final Four and currently sitting in the 30th place behind me, is battling for the booby prize that gives the low scorer back his/her entry fee.

Rather than focus on our pathetic NCAA pools, I'll post some pics of our trip to Tudor Place, a local historic home, where we took part in various Easter related events. The initial task involved a "Easter egg hunt" in which eggs were spread (not hidden) on the lawn, and kids were sent to retrive them. The lawn was spilt into sections for different age groups. We took part in the "under four" section which was interesting since many of the kids had no idea what they were supposed to do. Even still, the "under fours" were the most heavily represented demographic group (unlike the "over nines" who were relatively rare, but knew exactly what they were doing), so the end result was complete pandemonium with parent trying to direct their toddlers to the candy eggs that were strewn across the lawn. Margaret seemed to get the basic idea and picked up three eggs, although she had (and has) no idea what was in them.

Here are some photos from that insane event (I have no idea who would grant an army of toddlers access to the manicured grounds of a historic house) and some pics of Margaret and Teddy hanging out afterwards.
