Seven members of the club scored extra points for "planking" a full five minutes. 

Julie Adamen and Paige Szajnuk provided a welcome distraction by singing "God Bless America" and the National Anthem (Plankers joined in as they were able. ;-).

Grandkids Day Easter Egg Hunt

 

Excited children’s laughter filled the air on the Saturday morning before Easter during the annual Grandkids' Easter egg hunt, organized by the Saddlebrooke HOA2’s Fitness, Wellness, and Recreation Committee and hosted by the Saddlebrooke Swim Club. This year, over 50 grandchildren of residents and staff participated in the event held on the grass outside the Mountain View Bar and Grill.

While their teammates hid eggs and dollar bills in the grass, Saddlebrooke Swim Club members entertained early arrivals in the Clubhouse. The children were then gathered to begin the hunt.

The children were divided into two groups: kindergarteners and preschoolers hunted first at 10 a.m., followed by first through third graders at 11 a.m. The plastic eggs filled with candy and the hidden dollar bills were generously donated by Swim Club members, who have hosted this event for the past 10 years.

If you have young grandchildren visiting during Easter weekend, don’t miss this fun event next year!
