I love to go out and find free Easter Egg Hunts! Yes, it might be a bit sadistic because I drag all 3 children out, but they love it so much! We went to 2 separate egg hunts this weekend, and are planning on more this coming weekend!
The first hunt was at my work. It was an underwater egg hunt! The Rec Center has some great pools that help accommodate this. The first is the Splash Zone that never reaches more than 1' 9" deep. It is always warm and is filled with fun water tools, slides, etc. Skyler got to hunt in this pool! Domenic and Alexis were in the Specialty pool that doesn't go over 4 feet deep. It too is very warm and perfect for preswimmers/learning. They get to jump in, hunt for eggs, and at the end no matter how many eggs you have, all the children receive a prize bag filled with candy and prizes. The kids love it, and it is free (course we are members so it would have been free anyway, but it is free to all!)
Next we hit up an egg hunt at Dan's Food Market up the street. This one started at 9 am. just before conference on Saturday. It was hilarious and so much fun! They had roped off 3 aisles for the age groups (wouldn't you know it we had 1 kid in each group). Alexis was 1 of only about 8 children. There were the most in Domenic's age group, probably about 15-20. Skyler's group had about 12-14 or so! The picture below is of the 5-6 year old's aisle. You can see that it is just covered in eggs! The over 7 year olds were hilarious! They were like little vacuum cleaners going up the isle. Covered ahead, nothing but shiny floor behind them!
There really weren't that many people there, so the kids got baskets of eggs and goodies. All of the candy was Great Chocolate (ie. hersheys kisses and bars, and Rolos). Then some of the eggs had certificates for great prizes! We brought home 4 bottles of bubbles, cheese sticks, and more carrot snack packs than you can imagine! On Sunday I was cleaning out Skyler's basket and low and behold, there was a certificate for one of the Big Easter Baskets that they had given away. We went in first thing Monday morning and they still let us claim it; they had actually set aside the unclaimed basket! Nifty! It was the basket specially designated for the under 3 year olds! He will get bubbles, crayons, a cute stuffed bunny, sticker books, board books, a chalk board, and more! It was great!

How fun. I love easter eggs hunts as well. The underwater one sounds way fun. We will have to do that one next year.
Fun! I can't wait to see my kids this weekend at their easter egg hunts! Between my family and Nate's...we have four egg hunts every year and they rarely ask us to bring filled eggs to hide for our kids, so it's free for us too! Happy Easter! :)
that looks like a ton of fun. Are you going to the one on this sat. at the rec? That's what we are shooting for.
You guys made out GREAT!!! I am so glad they saved the basket for you. And I have NEVER heard of an under water egg hunt. Good motivation to get my kids to dunk their heads I guess huh.Cool font colors by the way.
P.S. I love Rolos. In our eggs were cruddy Palmer chocolate because I knew it would last longer around the house. And I am a cheapskate.
