Big Easter Egg Hunt

Today Riverbend Communications hosted a big Easter egg hunt for Idaho Falls in Tautphaus Park. There were hundreds it not thousands of people there. We got there about 5 minutes before it started and had to hike in from South Boulevard since that was the only place there was parking. Each egg had either candy or numbers that could be redeemed for a prize. They had at least 16,000 eggs for 4 groups of kids (broken down by age groups).

This was right as they were getting started. Keep in mind that they told everyone that it should just be kids and no parents. I guess for the 3 and under that just cannot be helped.


Getting towards the end here. Rachel will go into the clearing and pickup even more eggs.



All done now and Rachael was able to grab quite a few eggs. In fact she had 5 of them that had numbers. After this point it was a mad rush to get to the prize tent to redeem the numbers. We let Rachael play on the slide while we waited for the line to die down. In the end we got 4 gift cards to Papa Murphy's for a free mini pizza and one ticket for a youth to go to the Idaho Museum.
