We told Colin instead of running and grabbing the first eggs he saw to run all the way across the field to the far end to start collecting eggs. Usually the kids all stop at the first eggs they see and end up getting trampled and stepped on. This strategy proved to work well for Colin and he gathered up a bunch of eggs without anyone around.
In about 30 seconds after the kids were released the entire field was cleaned up, one of the event staff made the comment about it taking an hour to put all those eggs out there and 30 seconds for them to be picked up. LOL Truth! It was nice Colin had lots of eggs though because the event staff started the hunt about 10 minutes earlier than the advertised time and many kids were just getting out of their cars when the hunt started and the poor kiddos didn't even have a chance to grab an egg. Colin saw a few of his friends after the hunt was over and they didn't get any eggs, because they missed the start, and he was happy to share some of his eggs with them. He can be sweet when he wants to be!
