The Long Easter Hunt

This Easter Hunt for me has been highly tauted as the best. I've only heard stories of the amount of eggs and candy to be found, yet have never found my own. I've only seen the bruises and scratches that were obtained by the participants, yet have never participated. Until this year when I made the trek out to 9 mile and was one of the chosen to participate. I will say that I wasn't part of the elite crew, who had participated many times over, but I will say I was one of the "chosen" The Easter Bunny hides eggs upon eggs filled to the brim with candy as well as ziploc bags containing a large chocolate Easter bunny and possibly a few treats more. The participants line up at the back door and when the word is given sprint out and try to find all the eggs they can.

I had gotten a little helpful hint from a past participant to go to the side of the house and what I found was heavenly. There were eggs galore....just laying on the ground. I grabbed and snatched them up (come to find out later they were supposed to be for my niece and that is why they were so easy to find) I went all over the yard looking for more and more eggs. I ended up with 20 eggs and about a 1/4 of a gallon size bag of candy. My sis, a veteran, found 40ish and had almost a full bag of candy.

We all had a great time and the best part of it all was that really there was only one kid there that was Easter Bunny age appropriate, yet well all participated and totally got into it. I for sure can't wait till next year!

The Easter Bunny!

The other photog. He has a Nikon too.

a huge thanks to my Bil who took all of the phiotos, except the ones he is in and the last two. He did a pretty amazing job, didn't he?
