Vegan Family Easter Egg Hunt and Pot Luck

     We were so excited when we heard about Kelly Green (owner of Cakewalk Vegan Bakery in Salt Lake City, UT) putting together an event for Vegan Families to gather together, share delicious food and the children could participate in an egg hunt.
I love attending events where everyone is vegan, for the sheer fact you don't have to bring a complete meal of your own, track down the person who brought a certain food and ask what the ingredients are, or sort through the candy your child received and hope they don't cry as you throw out the non-vegan candies (Broderyck is, even at age 2, understanding that we have to look at treats and make a vegan and a not vegan pile.)
     I liked the fact that they let the little kids go first, this was Brody's first egg hunt so he was a little slow and wanted to open every egg as he found them. But he still found 9 eggs which he was very proud of!
     It was probably the best potluck turnout we've ever seen, we go to Vegan Drinks often and that seems to be popular but it was nice to see everyone with their families and to know there are other kids who Brody can relate to. Sometimes it feels like its a lonely battle, and a lot of people try to bring you down and say that one person doesn't really make a difference but that whole group of us today, all those kids, brings hope and reassurance to the ideal.
     Kelly stated that they also do a Halloween event which is another one of those holidays that would just be easier with other vegans.
