When I was a kid, the Easter Bunny never just placed our baskets full of treats in plain sight. The Easter Bunny (E.B. for short) cleverly hid our baskets in the house only leaving clues behind and sending us kids on a wild goose chase to find them.
A tradition that continued when E.B. came to our house for a visit this year. Zoe got so excited when she got a note from E.B. It took her a second to figure out what was going on but then had a blast running around the house. Of course she had more fun finding the notes than actually finding her basket!
You can follow the hunt with this series of videos...(just click the arrows to play.)
I missed taping the 1st clue which read:
Your Easter Basket can't be found
You must look and look and look around
First find daddy's office chair that spins around!
(Note the shout outs to Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Norm!)
*short break to go upstairs*
and now join us upstairs...
**oops, we had a little shoe incident...rejoin us after the clean-up**
And here she is posing with her basket...
I think this tradition will have to continue for quite some time.
(Lurker here.) That was so much fun to watch! E.B. used to hide our baskets, too! What REALLY impressed me, though, was Zoe RUNNING around in those giant slippers...I don't think I could even walk in them without falling on my face!
