This turned out to be very fun! Several weeks in advance I started throwing out ideas and asking people to do different jobs. I wanted to try a fair/carnival type setting for the hour before the egg hunt with stations to visit in any order and at your own pace. Although I got stressed a few times about whether I could find people to cover all the posts and I put in lots of time as well as numerous extra trips to church, by that morning all was ready. The only question was, "would we get many kids to come?" I was ready with 50 "passports." We started off about 10 minutes ahead of time with our kids who were there and ready. By the end, we had 10 passports left which means 40 kids came! The kids also brought their parents and grandparents. So the place was just humming!

A perfect branch broke off our magnolia a few months ago which I saved to hang our eggs and flowers on. The eggs are our family collection that we have made over the years.
