Early on Easter morning, SFCH Residential Youth Counselor Blake Bennett hid 206 plastic Easter eggs filled with treats for the boys at Van Down.

It began raining lightly, so Blake delayed the egg hunt until after lunch. Much to their surprise, when the boys went outside, only 17 eggs still contained candy!

All the eggs had been opened and emptied—with not a wrapper to be seen! There were toothmarks on some and some were chewed. Our investigative IT team was able to pull video footage and discovered that one very busy squirrel had stashed away the candy!

Blake joked that maybe the Easter Bunny’s cousins found and stole the candy. He then made a trip to the store to buy more, ensuring the kids had plenty of Easter treats.
