Although Christmas is arguably the biggest holiday of the year, Easter, and the egg hunts it brings, push Easter into a close second behind Christmas for many kids. If the little ones in your family are excited about Easter, start the celebration early by joining an egg hunt. Here’s a short list of some local egg hunts for your family to enjoy. Be sure to bring your Easter basket to collect the eggs.
