For those of us that celebrate Easter, do you go to church? Go to a egg hunt to find eggs filled with stickers or toys? Paint eggs? Jess asks:
I am wondering if any families know of sugar free Easter activities. Sugar just does not work for us. If there is not anything already going on perhaps interested families could make something happen.

We have friends who often go to Alpenrose Dairy for their hunt the day before Easter (on Saturday). They have hunts for the young kids, the older kids, and they even have a hunt for moms (reportedly, you can find diamond rings!) http://www.alpenrose.com/hunt.htm
We have gone a couple of times to our neighborhood hunt at the Overlook House, which has been great too: http://www.historicoverlookhouse.org/index.html
I would definitely look around the neighborhood for your local hunt. The eggs we find are usually filled with stickers, erasers, kid tattoos. We also like to decorate eggs at our house. It's fun and not sugar oriented.

Just read about a cool option today, though it's a little drive (Salem). Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary has an easter egg hunt where all the eggs are filled with feed for their animals--they have 150+ abused and neglected animals from around Oregon. The kids can feed and pet them after hauling in their egg finds.
