Egg-citing afternoon

These kids were on the hunt!
Young Kings Countians
scoured Pierrepont Playground
for the green space’s annual
Easter egg hunt on April 6.
The outing, sponsored by
the Brooklyn Heights Association,
drew families to the Pierrepont
Place park from all over
the Heights, such as local kindergartner
Patrick Gorman,
who teamed up with his friends
to fi nd the hidden treasures,
according to his mom.
“Patrick loved that all
his friends were there,” said
Silvana Gorman.
Gorman and her husband
brought their three kids —
Grace, 2, Patrick, 5, and Sofi a,
10 — for a day of hunting treats,
making Easter drawings, and
enjoying the spring warmth,
a world away from the year
before, according to Gorman.
“Last year there was snow
on the ground,” she said.
Sofi a, the eldest sibling,
helped out some of the younger
egg hunters with their bounty,
according to Gorman.
“She only took a few eggs
and was giving them to other
kids too,” she said. “Now that
she has a phone, she thinks
she’s a grown up.”
The family brought some
Easter-themed cupcakes they
made for the baked goods sale,
which donates its proceeds to
help fund the playground.

“They were vanilla and had
green grass with bunnies on
top,” Gorman said.
Patrick’s friend Braden was
a very eager egg hunter, even
fi nding some more than he was
supposed to take, according to
his mom.
“He did fi nd six, even
though he was only supposed
to take four so that there would
be enough for all the kids,” Jess
Prager said.
Both families return year
after year because they get to
catch up with her neighbors,
according to Prager.
“It’s nice too see the parents
in the neighborhood and catch
up, it’s always a nice social
gathering,” she said.
