How To Roll Easter Eggs

 Step One:  Boil eggs.  You might think this is an obvious first step, but we found out last year that some people don't realize you should actually boil the eggs.  I suppose mostly it was Floyd who discovered this when the unboiled egg splattered across his shoes.

Step Two:  Color eggs.  No need to get too fancy here.  You are, after all, planning to smash the eggs.

Step Three:  Take pictures of your favorites.  This step is probably optional.

Step Four:  Find a decent-sized hill to roll the eggs down.  We have a few really good ones we rotate through, but I'm not telling where cause we don't really like crowds.  If you don't mind crowds, Old Mail Hill is always a popular place -- and proof that we are not the only people who carry on this rather obscure tradition.

 Step Five:  Start throwing.

 

 

 Step Six:  Climb down the hill to retrieve any eggs that didn't break.  Be sure to take some little kids who don't roll too hard so there are lots of unbroken eggs.

 

Step Seven:  Watch out for eggs while you are down there.  Kids really like hitting people.

Step Eight:  Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 as many times as needed.

 

 

 

 Optional:  Get a little Spring Training in while you are there.  It's good for throwing and hitting skills and funner than a batting cage (those things are scary!).

It's always a good time - just trust the smiles.
