Marana Unwrapped

Today was the Easter egg hunt at Marana’s Hip Hop Holiday, and overall my daughter and I had a good time. It was hotter than I thought it would be (that Tucson sun is fierce), but there were shady spots here and there.

I was disappointed with the egg hunt, though. The 2 & 3 year old hunt was supposed to start at 10:30, but it started almost 5 minutes earlier. That may not sound like a lot, but I wasn’t the only parent running to get there when there should have been 5 more minutes to spare. It’s hard getting toddlers ready to go anywhere, so being early is great, but sometimes it’s a struggle to be on time. I’m glad I wasn’t on time. We’d have missed it.

So my daughter only got 4 eggs.

On the other hand, the 1-year-old and special needs field had too many eggs. In comparison, the 2-3 year olds were done in a few minutes, while the other field took at least 5 minutes to clear. I would suggest next year that they start on time (or even a few minutes late), and have more eggs for the agile and eager 2&3-year-olds. I’m not sure how the other hunts worked out, but I’m guessing they could have used more eggs too.

I enjoyed the clues and the hunt for the golden egg that was eventually found in a fire pit. It would be great if they had even more extra-hidden eggs for people to find.

Will I be going back next year? You bet! I’m sure it will be even better than this year’s.
