It’s cool – the Fire Department helps the Easter Bunny hide dozens of eggs, and then hundreds of island kids race to find the Easter eggs as well as the prize eggs. It’s a gathering of the tribe each year at Jackson’s Beach overlooking Griffin Bay on San Juan Island in Washington state in the USA. I know I took my kids…twenty years ago. Nice way to get together with friends on Easter.

In the video of the day below, you’ll see dozens of kids you know & their moms & dads…set to the music by Joe Bongiorno (FHHS ’87 – you can buy his music at http://www.joebongiorno.com); video by San Juan Update Homemade Productions.
