Egg Hunt
The caregivers had a great time participating in an exciting egg hunt before and during lunch. As they explored the venue, eggs were cleverly hidden in various nooks and crannies, adding an element of thrill to the event. Each egg contained a slip of paper with a special gift written on it. The caregivers eagerly searched, striving to find eggs. Their efforts were rewarded at the end of the meetup, where they could claim the gifts listed on the slips of paper. This enjoyable activity brought joy and excitement to the caregivers' day, creating fond memories and leaving them with a sense of delight and gratitude.
