An organization I belong to recently had an egg hunt for the kids and grandkids. 50-60 kids scrambling all over creation snarfing up little plastic eggs. Afterward they all had a hot dog lunch with the Easter Bunny. Great Times.
Always enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt we’d do with Gus – but he’s 14 now so it’s somewhat less “cool” to look for eggs with money in them – he’d rather I just write him a check. They grow up too fast. Terrific Post!

Isn’t that funny? We used to do that too. They’d have Easter Egg hunts every day if I’d let them. We even have a Christmas present hunt at Christmas time. I was too lazy to color eggs this year, so instead I hid miniature candy bars and then the boys had a “candy war” with them and Matt managed to split open Blake’s lip with one of the candy bars. Typical Easter!

One of my favorite Easter Egg Hunt memories is of my son (now 14) when he was 2: We went to a civic hunt, held indoors due to rain, and the space was really small. As all the children swept the place clean of eggs in a matter of about 10 seconds, my little boy managed to capture one lone treat. As my heart started to break for him, he came running toward me with the broadest smile, exclaiming, “Mommy! Look what I GOT!” Ah, sometimes I long for those innocent days of low expectations and being thrilled by very little.

Oh I love that story! That made my heart smile. In the famous words of Carters, “If only they’d stay little longer.”

Too funny! I have a 5 year-old grandson into pirates who would love to come and treasure hunt.

After Easter dinner with family, we all took a walk around the block. We passed by another house where an Easter Egg Hunt was in full swing….only it wasn’t just kids hunting for eggs, it was adults too, and it looked as if everyone was having such a wonderful time together, young and old!!! I had never thought about having an egg hunt for the entire family before-maybe next year!!

We have cats (including ours) in our neighborhood, so I worry about other “treasures” in the sand box as well.

My daughter scoped out where the empty plastic eggs were hidden months ago, and had us keep hiding them (empty) so she could find them since then. I don’t know if I’d ever seen someone so excited about Easter!
