Easter - Getting in Shape?

Easter Monday. Holiday items such as grass, egg coloring kits, chocolates bunnies and candy bird eggs are 50 percent off (“while they last”) today at the drugstore. No Peeps were left, but surprising, Lindt and Cadbury bunnies were!

And where were the local Easter egg hunts? Yesterday, I biked through many parts of Melbourne and down to the beach, thinking I would see at least one egg hunt in a city park , near the beach or at least in a yard. No egg hunts, and not even many kids were out. When my kids were growing up, we always attended several egg hunts. . . .

So what’s going on in the world of Easter egg hunts? Did the bunny sleep through the holiday? Or, if you follow Charlie Brown, did the Easter Beagle forget to lay out eggs or did Woodstock hoard them all? Did an Easter Grinch—Seuss style--steal them?


Or is the emphasis on getting in shape? After all, this year’s theme of the Easter egg roll at the White House , part of the campaign against childhood obesity, is "Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You!"

So readers, did you indulge in candies, go to an egg hunt or see an Easter bunny?
