15,000 Eggs

To help children celebrate an Easter they may never get to experience again, Cub Scouts, Girls Scouts, and Boy Scouts put together plastic eggs filled with candy and other wonderful things. All in all, they stuffed 15,000 eggs. To help these children further, our H.O.G (Harley Owner's Group) and the local Black Sheep headed off early this morning to go to the Ronald McDonald house in Sacramento. Our job was to spread out all 15,000 eggs across their lawn, playground, trees, and bushes and help the kids who needed it.

There were so many, it's impossible to actually "hide" the eggs.

The guys pretty much took big boxes and dragged them around the lawn to spread them.

We got as creative as we could. But have you ever seen 15,000 eggs on a lawn?

Looks like flowers...only, they're eggs. After the kids got there, it was like a vacuum, they just disappeared!

A successful day all in all.
