I got this idea from my friend, Holly. Every year, her mom hides candy in a bunch of eggs, and in a few she hides, nickles, dimes, quarters, and even a couple paper dollars. In one egg, she hides a $20. The catch is, it isn't just for kids. Her parents have a lot of land, so the kids get a bit of a headstart, but she always tells me how hilarious it is to see grown men running up and down the hill with their baskets, diving for eggs :)
My extended families don't let their hair down quite that much, so I just do it for the kids for now (maybe someday), and instead of a $20, I just have a couple of $1...which to them is just as good.

I would love to have our family run around in a huge field and chase eggs! Sounds like a blast! I would MAYBE have climbed the tree this year with the kids if I hadn't just had a baby like 5 days before ha! Plus all the kids were bringing me candy so I didn't need to hunt for it haha!
