Hunting Easter Eggs -- City Style

Growing up, one of my favorite childhood memories was the neighborhood Easter egg hunt my parents would hold.  My parents would spend a lot of time finding very hard places to hide the eggs around our yard so it was super challenging for all of us.  When I grew up, I knew this was something I would incorporate into my own family.  We hold one of these egg hunts in our yard every year, hiding eggs in our bushes, trees, grass, etc.  This year, however, I wasn't sure how this was going to work.  We have no yard.  We live in a city of over 25 million people with not a speck of grass around us.  Right outside is a busy street.  Inside is a tiny apartment.  I decided our Easter egg hunt this year would have to be city style -- trading the grass for pavement, the bushes for stairs, and the yard for a rooftop.  It was actually really fun!  Pete and I had a blast finding hiding places.  Who knew there were so many places to hide Easter eggs in an apartment building?  

We invited the only other family in the building with children to participate.  (Yes, these are the neighbors from the Groundhog's Day post.  They found the Easter egg hunt A LOT more normal!)  The kids had a blast.  

Here are the kids, ready to start.  Nothing but concrete and a little dirt around them.  

And off they go...

After the hunt, we went back to our apartment and opened the eggs.  

This was one of the most unusual Easter egg hunts we've ever held.  It will definitely be one of those "foreign" experiences we take with us from living in Seoul.  We'll do it again next year, but after that, I'm sure the kids will NEVER have another Easter egg hunt like this in their lives.  Fun time!
