In my short time as a parent, I've been to several massive egg hunts - you know the ones - where there are just loads of eggs flung throughout a field and kids go bonkers scooping up as many as they can at a time. They can be crazy and downright scary, if you're not careful. Not all egg hunts are like this, thankfully, and that's why it was so important to me to share this great cause and foundation with you for this Easter weekend. 

The Beeping Egg Hunt is put on by the Foundation for Blind Children - an organization with chapters in the East, West, and Central parts of the Valley. Their purpose is to serve as the go-to resource for visually impaired, blind, and those with multiple handicaps, as well as their families. The Beeping Egg Hunt is one way the Foundation for Blind Children is able to serve the visually impaired community.

As you may have guessed, it's like a typical egg hunt - except the eggs in this case make a chirping sound to help guide children to their locations. Like any other egg hunt, it's broken down into age groups, and children ages infant through teenagers can participate.

In addition to the egg hunt, there will be fun for the whole family with carnival games, art projects, and more!
