The First United Methodist Church hosted its annual Easter Egg hunt and picnic Saturday.

Eggs scattered the lawn of the Capitol, just waiting to be picked up by excited children.

"Aren't they fabulous? Just to find pure joy in something like chasing a bubble or finding an egg," Paula Stiernberg, with First United Methodist Church, said. "Just running around at the Capitol enjoying their parents in a relaxed atmosphere, that's what just fills our hearts."

A picnic, face painting and cupcake decorating were all part of the day's festivities.

The congregation at Holy Word Lutheran Church also held an Easter egg hunt for the kids, following their Sunrise Service.
