Easter Traditions

So this being my first Easter away from home I found myself really missing all of our Easter traditions.  We always go to my grandma and grandpa's house for Easter.  We start out the afternoon with an Easter egg hunt.  When we do our egg hunt we each have a specific color egg that we are allowed to find.  Each kid has a dozen eggs that they have to find.  I usually always chose a pink color because that is my favorite color.  Many years there are one or two plastic eggs that someone can't find.  Occasionall someone will find an old egg from the previous year that we never found.  The boundries for the egg hunt are always the same.  It is always in the barnyard and a few of the buildings next to it.  I love the Easter egg hunt.

The other Easter tradition my family has is called a string hunt.  All the string starts in the garage then some unrolls a ball of string laying it all over the yard.  They put the string around trees, undercars, and even across the street.  Before we begin the string hunt there are strings going everywhere.  Each person has a string that someone else pit out for them.  You then have to roll up all of your string and at the end of the string is a prize.  That is one of my favorite Easter traditions that my family has.  Part of the reason I like it so much is because no one else does it.  It is a tradition that I plan on passing down to my kids.
