The Great Pumpkin Hunt went well, it was mostly sunny, but windy, but I am not complaining after last year's downpour! The kids found all the eggs quickly but it took quite a bit of time to empty the eggs into treat bags. I had a wider variety of treats this year, fewer sugary ones, and the kids definitely liked the variety. The Snoopy eggs have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the Pumpkins mostly have pretzels and M&Ms but some Spider Rings and Bats, the Candy Corns have Gummy Worms in some and plastic witches fingers in others. The Black Eggs have either Cheeseballs or Goldfish in them. For next year, I am going to up the total number of eggs (I already found 72 skeleton eggs at Oriental Trading) and am going to expand the variety of candy and have more with little toys in them, and maybe have some with quarters. I am going to keep making stops at Dollar General and Dollar Tree and pick up any bigger toys and crafts for their take home Treat Bags, and little toys for eggs.
@lady Lynn has me thinking of fun things to do the week between Christmas and New Years and if I find enough toys and stickers this year I could have the goal of filling all of the new skeleton eggs with non-perishables to brighten that week and kickstart looking ahead to the Great Pumpkin Hunt 2023
