Guests of The Resort at Longboat Key Club hopped right into the Easter spirit on April 16.
The Links on Longboat filled with bright-colored balloons, bubbles and kids running in every direction as to not miss one possible activity. The Longboat Key Club hosted its annual Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday complete with sack races, face painting, balloon animals, cookie decorating and crafts.
Despite having a busy schedule of delivering Easter baskets overnight, the Easter Bunny managed to make a special appearance and take photos with eager kids too.
At 10 a.m. it was time for the much-anticipated Easter egg hunt. Participants were placed in three age groups and impatiently waited in front of three large piles of hay. First, those under four years old jumped into their pile followed by the two older age groups. As hay flew in the air, baskets filled with blue, pink, purple, yellow and other colored eggs.
As kids dashed between all of the activities, it looked like they might have a hard time choosing which part of the morning was their favorite. Ten-year-old Alexa Gettel seemed to like it all.
“My favorite part finding the eggs and making bunny ears,” she said.
Then her friend, Martha Laurence, reminded her about the sack races, but Gettel picked out another favorite part.
“..and also having fun with my friends,” she said.
