The Hunt for Easter Eggs
Easter egg hunts are just plain fun, and tasty (especially if the eggs are chocolate or filled with candies). Okay, it’s even great to seek out painted eggs of the hard-boiled variety (sort of). Anyway if you haven’t been invited to a private event, there’s still time to join one of the open-to-the-public hunts. Bring a basket or a bag, just in case.
In Irvine, is presenting free egg hunts for children up to 10 years of age at 3 PM and 7 PM. And between 2 PM and 8 PM there will be crafts, face painting, and other activities.
