We will not be hosting an Egg Hunt this year, but loved it when I was little.  At the age of 5 or 6 years old, my mom who loved to sew, made the most beautiful Easter dress and embroidered a bunny on it holding a basket of eggs. I totally loved that dress and was overjoyed when my own daughter fit into it for an EGG HUNT we threw at a local park two years ago.  All the kids had the most amazing time looking for eggs in the grass and one of these days, we will plan one again. I just think every child needs to experience the joy of going on an Easter Egg Hunt.  So take a look at all the options above and hope to see you at one of the amazing Egg Hunts going on in our wonderful city!

HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!!!
