Riverview's Easter Egg Hunt

I took my 2-year old daughter to Riverview's Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 22. Despite the really cold and windy weather there was a decent turnout. It had been previously scheduled for Saturday, March 15, but due to rain they decided to move it. Museum staff and volunteers greeted us with a nice metallic pin wheel, and there were hundreds of brightly colored eggs all around the historic Victorian home. There were probably 50 kids there, which was nice so the little ones would have a better shot at getting a few eggs. My daughter got three eggs on her own. She was going in for number four when an older boy ran in and grabbed it. Luckily he saw how distraught she was and gave her the egg. Museum Executive Director, Sam Terry, helped her find egg number five and a nice parent gave her number six. As with any egg hunt there were kids way too old to be hunting eggs. They had nice prizes for those who found special eggs. Afterwards the kids were treated to cupcakes and punch. As with everything Riverview does, this event was really nice and fun, even with the yucky weather. We will be back next year!
