1. Beach Easter Egg Hunt
Organize an Easter egg hunt on one of the beautiful beaches in Scituate for your family. Fill the eggs with candy, coupons (1 week free of chores), (1 day of not having to make your bed) (A Mommy's Helper Day voucher), (Go to work with Mommy or Daddy voucher), (Your day to pick an April vacation activity for the family to do). Have one big prize. You can use one of those “eggs” nylons come in...L’eggs. Spray paint it gold. The golden egg is the grand prize- Fill with a gift card or something fun. Ideas: Gift card to Nona's. Mill Wharf Theater, Scituate Harbor toy store, etc
2. Everyone does an Easter Brunch these days. With the weather being as beautiful as it is how about taking a family nature walk and having an Easter BBQ. Pork Chops, a roasted chicken, BBQ pulled pork, are some ideas to get you started. If you have little ones maybe think about visiting the animals up at Holly Hill Farm.
3. Make "Easter" Baskets for the Animal Shelter or an organization of your choice. Fill with goodies that organization to use. Have each family member do one and drop them off as part of your Easter celebrations.
4. Visit a local farm such as Holly Hill Farm or Dalby Farm sometime this spring to learn that there are more to eggs that just going to the supermarket buying a carton of eggs and dipping them in a bunch of food color. See what fresh eggs are all about.

5. Participate in the Scituate Scavenger Hunt to support your local community. Early registration ($15pp) will end next Friday, April 13th. Afterward, registration is $20pp. Get it in early! I have a friend who did this last year and it sounded like an absolute blast.
"Scituate locals will host the second annual Great Scituate Scavenger Hunt on April 28 from noon to 4 p.m. Teams of three or four are encouraged to play for whichever charity or community organization they please, and the winner will receive 100 percent of the proceeds from the event. According to the online rules, teams are given a list of challenges at the start of the event, each with a corresponding point value based on the challenge’s difficulty. Teams must go out and finish as many challenges as they can, documenting their success with a digital camera. The team with the highest points wins! "- Boston Globe
