On Easter Sunday we were at Saratoga Springs Resort and the Candy Scramble started at 9am. The area was divided into four age groups and Luke joined the 0-4 years. The grass was absolutely covered in sweets. The Easter Bunny (AKA The White Rabbit) started off the proceedings. The little ones were all very decorous and discerning, making sure that they got exactly what they needed. Except for one little boy who was unwrapping sweets and stuffing them in his mouth as fast as possible. (Not Luke, I'm pleased to say). No adults were allowed in the area but there was plenty of coaching going on from the side lines. For instance - me saying "get the Twix, get the M&Ms, get the Milky Way". This is after he had got all he wanted of red lollipops etc.
A couple of minutes after the youngest group started it was time for the 5-8 year olds. I didn't see this but DH said that their area was cleared in about 3 minutes flat! The two older groups did take a little longer than that.

I asked if she didn't want some Twix, Kit Kat, and all the other delictable treats laying there (the goodies I would have loved), and she told me to go get it for myself! 
At least we didn't have sugar overload that day!
They are excellent and always have been since the resort opened. 1 reason we love SSR is the very active and involved rec staff. Always throwing parties, games, special activities, etc.
