It’s one of my family’s favorite things to do, hunting for little plastic eggs in a field of grass.  We wouldn’t miss it for the world, so I’m really happy to share some options for Easter activities here in the Springs and the surrounding areas.  I did my best to come up with a thorough list for all of you, with events from all around our area, but I’m sure some of you know of ones I didn’t list.  If I missed a favorite of yours, feel free to add it in the comments!

Pictures with the Easter Bunny, Egg Hunts, geocaching to Victorian Teas; there’s a little something for everyone.  I even added in some out of town (but really cool) train rides.  Hopefully you’ll find something here that’s perfect for your family!

Happy Easter, Colorado Springs Moms Blog Readers!  Enjoy!

Once Upon A Time, in another life, Kristin graduated from the University of Michigan with a plan to teach high school math. But then, life happened when she wasn’t looking…. She married an Army guy and 23 years, 3 kids, a few dogs, 7 homes, and 2 continents later she’s now a single mom living here in Colorado Springs. Along the way she volunteered for the Army, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and several schools; managed volunteer organizations, coached judo, trained to be a whitewater rafting guide, biked down Pike’s Peak and even managed to teach some high schoolers a little math before forging new trails writing, teaching and financial planning. She never knows what’s coming around the bend, but she’s learned to handle whatever life (and the Army!), throws at her with a smile and a laugh. She’s pretty sure you can get through anything with those, even if you have to fake it occasionally!!
