It's time of year again. Nope, not the time when Christians celebrate the day Jesus was resurrected--the time when we get to see our sweet little babies throw down with another parent's (not so) sweet little baby over a stinky, pastel-dyed hard-boiled egg.

I am not sure if New Haven is having two Easter Egg Hunts, but we actually attended the New Haven egg hunt today (March 27th). If you plan on attending on April 3rd you may want to double check with parks and rec to see if they are having another hunt. The park and rec website lists one date and the city master calender list a different one...
