We are getting egg-cited! Over 2000 space eggs are prepped to be hunted by children ages 12 and under. Two zone will be setup: ages 7 & under and ages 8 - 12. Bring your own basket or bag!

While I commend the effort to have different egg hunts for the children, the age groups are bit much. A 7 year old and a 2 or 3 year old in the same group? That's not quite fair to the young ones. They are just learning about hunting for eggs. The older ones are faster and will get most of if not all of the eggs. This will leave upset little ones. I have seen it happen. When my little one was 2 we took her to a community egg hunt. The age group was 6 and under. She only got one egg, while the 6 year olds were walking away with baskets full. She cried and cried. Just a thought you may want to consider.....
Egg hunt ages 7 - 12. You must be kidding me - 12. Twelve year olds should be setting up the hunt. Don't boys on the Eastern Shore ( and some girls) have hunting guns by the age of 5. Surely they ate sissies.
