5 April 2026 Sanford: Easter Egg Hunt #2

 


After a successful egg hunt the previous day, we headed over to Ryan and Stephanie's for another round of egg hunting.  This time we added a hunt for the adults too.  Everyone got into it so there were lots of eggs for the adults to find as well.  We set it up so that there were numbers inside the egg that matched packages on the pool table, that gave us much more latitude on the prizes.  Of course there was a fantastic meal of smoked ribs, chicken wings and smoked turkey with all the sides and goodies one would expect.  The food was great, then we "hid" the multitude of eggs for the kids to find.  Candy, charms, amulets, squishies and more were nestled inside the plastic eggs only to be freed by the kid who found the egg.
