Easter Egg Hunts

Growing up, the Easter egg hunts we went to were all at church. While the adults were in “big church”, we’d have our children’s church lesson, and then we’d go outside, and be let loose to find real eggs, candy eggs, and plastic eggs all throughout the church play ground and the school playground. For the really little kids they’d hide some in the gymnasium so they could look and not get run over by the bigger kids.
My sister and I liked simply hunting and finding them that we would have our own Easter egg hunts at home. So we’d take the Easter eggs and hide them throughout the house for each other to find. Only sometimes we wouldn’t find them all. And we’d forget where we hid them. Until a couple of weeks later there would be a smell…
That’s how you get a rotten egg.

Rotten eggs really smell bad.

I always enjoyed Easter egg hunts. They were especially sweet when my son was a child.

That sounds like years of fun that you enjoyed.
My husband's mens church group used to host an outdoor community (we lived in a tiny little village) egg hunt.
I remember about 6 months after we moved there a lady came over and told us all about the egg hunt, which sounded fun, but she needed someone to wear the big furry Bucky the Bunny costume.
And she asked me.
I thought perhaps it was some sort of a unique initiation into the village group, so I accepted.
Little did I know that I would keep the title until I passed it down to our son when he was in high school (he was 7 when we moved out there) and he ended up passing it down to a little boy, who he used to baby site, but was in high school when our son moved to go to university.

When Pretty was little, we still had Easter egg hunts at mom's house in town. Mom and I hid plastic eggs with candy or money in them and whichever grandkids were there got to go hunting Easter eggs. After mom passed away, I gave Pretty bags of candy and hid the plastic egg shells around the house for her to find.
I KNEW better than to hide real eggs around inside the house.

My uncle was the minister when I was in high school and he always put a gold egg with cash out with the other eggs

Never hunted for Easter eggs, at church or at home.

I started keeping track of where I hid the eggs on paper when the boys were growing up. Especially if we had to hide them inside

My mom hid eggs for us once, maybe twice. I never went to an organized easter egg hunt. They didn't make the plastic ones back in my day - just the ones mom made with real eggs.
