Easter Eggs. Easter in Alaska doesn't look like kids racing around a grassy hill searching for eggs. Here the kids crunch around the snow in their Easter shoes. One year, when our oldest daughter was young, she was the least aggressive of the egg hunters. She sadly told us that she had found only one egg. Then she showed us her basket, which contained an old, red dog ball that must have recently been revealed by the retreating snow. She had mistaken it for an egg.
