Our first one was our town's Easter Egg hunt on the beach. This one is always a hit as the beach is filled with boxes of candy for the taking. Of course there was the traditionally photo with Peter Cottontail.....
And then off to the races they went.
Funny thing was as we were heading to the hunt I told D that the goal was to find the plastic egg that the group had hide in the sand. For the first time, he actually listened to me, however, by the time he stopped looking for the plastic egg all the candy was gone. Yes, it equaled one unhappy boy.
Luckily the following Saturday featured another hunt where they actually place plastic eggs in a field and everyone runs for them, per age group. This time no mention was made about what anyone should find.
Scooping out the field.....
Though we did not mention anything to D about finding sometime special in one of the eggs, this Easter Egg hunt did feature the placement of four gold coins, per age group, in each section. And as luck would have it...
D found a gold coin and won an Easter Basket!! Thank God kids have short memories on somethings as finding the coin totally made up for not getting any candy the week before.
