As a kid, I loved Easter egg hunts.
Running around outside in the early spring weather, or inside if it was rainy spring weather, hunting for brightly colored eggs was always exciting .
On Easter morning, the bunny always stuffed my eggs with some chocolate and special treats, but the egg hunts were all about who could gather the most — bragging rights were very important, as most of the time those eggs were empty.
