Donofrio's Egg Hunt

An experience.
That is the only way you can describe an Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the Donofrio's. The tradition is 25 years old, and has become quite an event. Back in the day it was held the Saturday before Palm Sunday. But now? Since all the "kids" have gotten older it was no longer a challenge to hunt for eggs on a Spring afternoon.....


So the hunt is held on Good Friday. At night. In the dark. Everyone is armed with their collection bags and flashlights.





All the "kids" (who have their own kids now!) are categorized as searchers, and all of us co-habitaters have our own quest for golden eggs.





Hundreds of eggs are hidden, and certain ones have a poker chip inside - redeemable for a gift from the prize table.





There were a million of us!
We picked a great prize - a beach bag filled with anything we would ever need while enjoying the sun and surf.

Cooper looked cute in his jeans, sneakers, and Ed Hardy t-shirt.

Love this picture.....
