We have been hosting an egg hunt at the farm for Easter for probably 20 years now. We structure it (yes I said structure because at the end of the day we are a bunch of teachers that put this thing together) so that every kid gets the same quantity of eggs. Each kid is given a # this year 1-10. The eggs are then numbered and they can only pick up the eggs with their numbers. This year I did 70 eggs per kid so 70X10 kids 700 eggs. That is a lot of stickers, candy, small toys, and fuzzy pipe cleaner chicks. T weather was excellent this year, it isn’t always, and the kids had fabulous time- so did the grown ups.
Natasha did the majority of the ferret wrangling that day so I could take pictures and Clint could help run the hunt. Our dear friend
Dawn also came along to help and share in the festivities.
Natasha is ferret wrangling and Dawn is handing out the assigned numbers.
Debbie and Clint also help herd children.
Billy, Bryar, Cole, and Blake get ready to hunt.
While Natasha entertains the ferret Emily and Sam join the fray
Matt gets his bag.
The kids start getting corralled towards the bell.
Brien, Jodi, Kris, And Stacey also help coral the kids.
Ken and Jodi’s dog even gets in in the fun.
They line up to help Grandpa Bob pull the rope to ring the bell and start the hunt.
PULL!!!!!
And they are off!
Hmmm if you have to explain and point there might be an issue.
Sam has it down!
Emily and Bill seem to have it figured out as well.
