Egg Hunt Madness

For 9 years now we have had an annual Easter Egg hunt at my Mom and Dads house. Even the adults get in on this craziness. First my Mom and Dad hide tons of eggs for the adults to find. The eggs are filled with candy, tickets and money. The tickets are later traded for prizes. Once the adults find their eggs then we all hide a bunch more eggs for the kids to find. In the end literally hundreds of eggs are hidden and found. Theres a lot of fun goading and teasing each other over who found more eggs, whose eggs had more money, who got better tickets and trying to reassure Mom that everyone doesnt have to come out perfectly even. Thats half the fun. This year Terry and Kristi brought a little extra to the party. They had recently taken their family hunting for geode rocks and they brought a bunch to share. Everyone loved cracking open the rocks to see the cool crystals inside. Thanks guys! Also this year it was decided that this year would be the last year for the egg hunt. (Probably the best for Moms blood pressure:)) The kids are getting older and our annual Egg hunt will now become an annual summer party. I'll miss the egg hunt, but I look forward to any family party and am excited to start a new tradition. Thanks Mom and Dad for the hunt and all the effort that was put into making so many memories.
