A Girata-family tradition, hearkening back at least two generations (I played with my sister and my dad played with his siblings, too!), has been passed on to the next generation: EGG WARS!! Nicole told me that in her family, they eat the hard-boiled eggs they dye for Easter. Not so for the Giratas. Dyed eggs serve a higher purpose in our world. They are preserved to participate in the ultimate egg-fighting championship!
Here are the rules: each person picks a "team" of eggs with which they will compete. Then hit by hit, each player smacks one end of their egg into one end of their opponent's egg. Crack by crack, shell by shell, the eggs are destroyed until one champion egg (and player!) are left standing. This is by far the greatest family Easter tradition!
...and of course, I have pictures AND a video of all the fun!
