SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- The 4th Force Support Squadron hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for 4th Fighter Wing children April 7.

Children split up into different age groups and were challenged to spell the word "Easter" using empty eggs with letters written on them. Once Easter was spelled, the children raced to form a line and redeem their eggs for treats. While each age group waited for their chance to hunt for eggs, there were games and other activities to occupy them.

In addition, the Easter Bunny met children.
