Short and Sweet - oh the irony...: egg hunt

Happy Easter everyone! I hope your day was filled with fun, family, eggs, and large bunnies. I am looking forward to this Easter because this year there aren't any costumes or ropes involved!

For the past two years my mother has come up with wild and weird ideas to get all the "kids" involved in the egg hunt. And by 'the kids', I mean my brother and sister along with our 3 friends who are between the ages of 15 & 22. So I would say we are well beyond the Easter Egg Hunt years. My mom has been creative in her ideas and here is what happened the past two years:

First, we had the 4 legged race.....

This lasted for about a minute until the ropes came lose. It was difficult at first but a fun idea.

Next came the costumes. Oh yes, costumes. [Please let me remind you that this is around 4 in the afternoon and it is light out.]

We each had to pick a number and then pick the bag that had the same number. There was a clown, a vampire, Santa, a swimmer, cowboy, and other random items. As you can see it was an exciting time for all involved!

This year was not quite as extravagant but still fun. We hid plastic eggs along with a few real eggs around the yard. Some eggs had candy inside while others had stickers with numbers on the back. The real eggs were worth the most points and were hidden pretty well....I say this since I hid them. :) In the end, whoever had the most points (gained from the stickers) will win the egg hunt!
