We Had Our Annual Easter Egg Hunt Outside This Year

For the last several years, Chrissy and I have invited my family over to our house for Easter.  My mom’s side of the family is growing pretty steadily.  For a while there, it seemed like we were having babies every six months or so (Gavin being the last so far).  We have plenty of room, so having everyone over for the Easter gathering works out pretty well.

Hunting For Easter Eggs In The Back Yard

It was dry and relatively nice outside, so we decided to have the Easter Egg Hunt outdoors this year.  We packed a lot of plastic eggs with candy and goodies, so I hid them all in the back yard.  There were a lot more hiding places there than in the basement (where we normally have it), and when we ran out of hiding places, I just chucked eggs onto the lawn.

There were six kids in the hunt, and each got about twenty eggs.  They carried plastic bags and Easter baskets around while searching.  The little kids started first, and they quickly found the eggs that were just laying in the grass.  The older kids followed up and found the more carefully hidden eggs.  We’ve been collecting plastic eggs since our annual tradition began, so there were plenty to go around.
