Sunshine for Our “Hunt” ???

I’m ready to dye Easter eggs…

but, it’s a little too early…

So, I decided to keep my spirit of Easter going by filling the plastic eggs for the Grandkids to hunt on Easter Day…

I was hoping for pretty weather … but, the forecast says “rain”…

I never put plans on hold… because weather can change in a week…

We save a big bag of plastic eggs to reuse every year…

I ended up with some and I think my daughter-in-law has some…

I love their bright colors… Some are small and some a big…

Our bag of colored plastic eggs we saved from years past … ready to fill…

We have a pretty big backyard… with big trees and grassy areas to hide the eggs…

We all get into the fun… Melanie and I fill the eggs… My kids, my husband and others that are here at Easter hide them… You just have to participate in some way!… You just can’t resist!

I love watching the kids running around the yard … looking here and there… down by the fence… near the tree trunks… in the grass… near the deck…

They fill their baskets or bags not stopping to look inside the colorful eggs until all of them are found… Then, they dump them all out and count how many they have found…

This year since they are older… 8 and 11… I put inside coins

I robbed our Piggy Bank … to add some appeal to the hunt…

… candy

I just loved these chocolate carrots… with their bright shiny wrappers…

and in some a few dollars

Makes it a little more interesting!…

We will eat dinner of ham, turkey, baked potato casserole, deviled eggs, green beans, slaw, hot rolls and a special dessert from my daughter-in-law which is her specialty…
