My children have become expert egg hunters over the years. Ryan, in particular, craves a challenge when it comes to our Easter morning fun. So this year, in addition to making sure the eggs were well-hidden, the Easter Bunny added some twists:
1. There were three sets of numbered eggs hidden. Each child had to find one of each of the numbers (thanks to our Kindergarten teachers for this idea!)2. There were three sets of patterned eggs hidden (the girls' were marked with their initial). Ryan had to find all of the sports-themed eggs, and the girls had to find the ones shaped like animals and fairies. The Bunny hid Ryan's eggs in some really tough places!
3. Each child had a special egg hidden that contained a clue to help them find their basket.
They were up bright, and early at 6:15 a.m., and the fun began by 6:30. Thanks to the added challenges, the fun lasted nearly an hour this year instead of the typical 15 minutes. We had a leisurely breakfast and then went to church at Highland, where the kids behaved wonderfully. Dad picked up lunch for us from Geneva Farms and we spent the rest of the day relaxing a bit after all the activities of Saturday.
