Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies with the bomb squad installed beeping devices in as many colorful Easter eggs as they could.
In preparation for a Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired‘s annual event for kids who can’t enjoy Easter’s vibrant colors.
The event was at the nonprofit organization’s academy in the West Brickell neighborhood. The guests were pre-kindergarten students aged one through 4.
Virginia Jacko, who has served as the president and chief executive officer of the nonprofit for decades, said the children were “tickled.”
David Greenwell, the executive vice president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, said it’s one of his biggest highlights of the year.
“I just wish people would close their eyes for maybe 30 minutes today and see what their life is like every day,” Greenwell said. “So when they find the eggs, out of listening and finding, they are so happy.”
