This year, we did a photo scavenger hunt instead of a basket full of candy filled eggs and dollar store stuff.  I went around the house and outside taking pictures of recognizable places.  The stove, the clothes hamper, a toybox, the bumper sticker on my car, a ball in the yard…  I printed all of these pictures out as a contact sheet (the one that fits about 35 photos).  After cutting them up, I put one egg with a picture in a small bucket that had a few other eggs and some easter grass.  The place in the picture was where Caleb should look for the next egg…and so on.  He ran all over the house, then out in the yard.  It took an hour to complete our “hunt!”  He seemed to really enjoy himself, and it was reasonably simple, although it took me longer to place all the eggs than I thought it would.

    That’s a really great idea, Rachel. It amazes me how much time and effort you put into everything for him. I hope he realizes just how lucky he was when he gets older.

    Awesome!

    But, you are putting us to shame here. Easter Eve the kids were sleeping and Dave and I were in our own tv viewing areas.
    During commercials, we would scramble, hide a few eggs, and run back to the tv.
    Scramble….that cracks me up. Get it? Eggs? ha ha
