I LOVE Easter egg hunts. I will always remember growing up, our families - cousins aunts, uncles, grandparents and all - would go to Bethany Beach, Delaware for Easter weekend.
After church, we'd all come back to the beach house where the adults would hide eggs all over the property - Uncle Bill and Uncle Frank thought it was pretty funny - year after year - to DIG A HOLE in the sand and bury eggs. Hmm... I wonder why we never had a correct count of "found" eggs after each hunt?!?!?
Anyway, last year, Willthing was gracious enough to allow me to get my kicks by having the Easter egg hunt at his house since the old shop (which would have been the typical venue for a great egg hunt - so many places to hide 'em!) was out of commission. I was hoping that the new shop at 22nd and Mechanic would be ready for its inaugural egg hunt in 2010, but it just wasn't meant to be... Stay tuned, though - next year the Nautical Egg-stravaganza hunt WILL return!
This year, I'll have to be content with the festivities at Crazy Oaks (12410 Sewart Road) and the annual Bunny Roast (don't worry - no REAL bunnies are harmed in the making of this event!) and if last night's fun and musical enjoyment (courtesy of the Brandon McDermott Band) was any test, tonight and tomorrow should be a blast.
Oh, and did I mention there's an egg hunt tomorrow as well? Yup. See you there, but watch out - I'm not shy about pushing women or children out of the way when it comes to egg hunting - I got pushed around by the bigger cousins at our hunts and it only sharpened my skills. As my mom would say, it builds character anyway.
Happy Easter!
