Celebrate Easter by attending a non-traditional egg hunt

Posted on March 24, 2010 by Adrienne

My daughters love a good Easter egg hunt.  We typically attend our town’s festivities, the Newmarket Recreation’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt, wearing snow boots, but we’re hopeful for green grass instead this year.    My friends all have their favorite egg hunts around the state, and some, like our town’s, are traditional.  This year, however, there are [...]
