Most everyone spent their childhood Easters hunting easter eggs, but sometimes traditions don’t end. Sophomore, Madison Kelly and her 19 and 23 year old sisters never stopped hunting eggs.
“We’ve just always hunted eggs.” Kelly said, “We’ve just never stopped and we’ve never found a reason why we should stop. It’s just something something that brings me and my sisters together, even though they both moved away.”
Their parents fill each egg with one dollar. There are always 21 eggs hidden all around the first floor of their house. Each girl must find seven of the eggs. The first one to find all of hers wins and gets bragging rights over the other two.
“I’m the best at hunting the eggs.” Kelly said, “I’ve won the past three years and there’s no chance that I’d lose this year. My sisters haven’t ever gone easy on me just because I’m the youngest, I just have better egg hunting skills than they do.”
The egg hunts can get very competitive in the kelly household. They push and shove each other out of the way to get to an egg first. Their family fun turns into a full out fighting competition to win.
“My sisters and I are very competitive with everything we do.” Kelly said, “The egg hunt is away for us to get out our inner child and have a real good competition. We’ve always had a lot of fun, so there’s no reason to stop a tradition that we love just because we’ve gotten older.”
