Egg Hunts
All Weekend: Whether you choose to do one at home, at your church or just enjoy one of the many community events offered this weekend, get out and do a little egg hunting. It’s fun for kids of all ages and it’s a great way to create some family memories, not to mention pictures for the scrapbook. Just remember, this event is for the kids and they learn from watching you so don’t be like these parents. There should be enough for everyone and just in case there isn’t, bring some extras in your pocket to drop in your little one’s basket. Have a great Easter Weekend!
