My Mom and Dad had an Easter Egg Hunt for all the cousins at Pine Forest (their place in Nottoway County, VA). They hid 269 eggs over about five acres. That doesn’t seem like a tremendous number until you consider there were only six participants (Josh was otherwise occupied, the NC cousins were in Hawaii, and the Georgia cousins were, well, in Georgia). 20 of the eggs had Millard Fillmore dollars, so they were special finds. They used to be Sacagawea dollars, but I guess they stopped making those. Other eggs, randomly placed, contained clues to help direct the kids to the eggs with the dollars inside. Mom and Dad got a little too clever with some of the clues – I heard a couple that I couldn’t figure out- so Grandpa had to offer assistance to the kids to decipher them. One special egg got the finder a huge basket of Easter candy goodies.
The kids had a great time. After fifteen minutes of finding the adults are allowed to walk around and help “unfound” eggs get discovered by the closest kid. I was nearby to the finding of an egg that held a different kind of surprise. See if you can guess what it is:
