We went with plastic eggs with candy and tiny treasures inside.

On the hunt around the yard. . .

Final tally
Ezri = 27 eggs
Ivan = 22 eggs
2 eggs outstanding which needed parental pointing for the finding.

Opening of the eggs. . .

Contents of Ezri’s basket after the egg opening. Eric just had some LEGO minifigs hidden in the basement waiting for such an occasion.

Both children claimed not to have experienced the wonder of a cream egg.
Both experienced the joy and liked them very much.

The cosplayers proved just as kind to the kids as in years past.

Pink Princess Power
Ezri asked to take this photo for her uncle who likes Adventure Time. That’s Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time.

Eric put together Mario and Princess Peach costumes at the kids’ request after he suggested Ivan could be Mario before a grow mushroom and he could be the after.

I’d rather hug a Wookiee.
This guy was a little startled by Ezri’s enthusiasm, but rolled with it. Ivan then came up and gently pat his fur.

When Ezri asked for a photo with these ladies, they asked if she wanted to hold a blaster. She did.

Ezri’s Elsa love has faded from its height in the past year – but these two were very gracious and Ezri loved meeting them.

She got a new comic book signed by the artist at the AW YEAH! comics booth.

Here a snow trooper and a tie-fighter pilot are competing to get Ezri to pick a favorite. The snow trooper gave her a high five, so the tie-fighter pilot is trying to do better by offering a ten.

Ezri and Sharon sold
31 boxes of Thin Mints
Samoas came in a distant second with 12 boxes

It was a sunny day and I am thankful for all the people who stopped to buy cookies or share their Girl Scout memories.
