Thread Name: BS: Easter Eggs query
Subject: RE: BS: Easter Eggs query
One nice thing about my X2B - the best Easter Egg hunts going. Those buggers (plastic filled with stuff) would be HARD to find, and the hunt over all the acreage could take all day, really. My niblings used to come in from out of state to hunt eggs on our old property...

As a child, I remember going to the Embassy which always had an Easter Egg Hunt for the American kids... I found the silver one once, can't recall the prize. These were real eggs, hard-boiled. The real eggs, raw, were used for the egg TOSS, which is a great game in which pairs line up in 2 long lines facing each other; in one line each person has an egg and tosses it to their partner; if it's caught without breaking, both step back, toss back, step back and if the egg breaks you're out of the game. Daddy and I would win that one regularly, we had a system going.

But I know that we also did stuff with decorated, raw eggs, because one got lost in my closet and couldn't be found (this is how we discovered that I have no, or very little, sense of smell) for months... and by then it was growing things you wouldn't believe...

And then in my teens I got to BE the Easter Bunny for the smaller American children... I recall a very hot head in those tropics with all that white fur absorbing all the sun!
