Happy Easter indeed! Last Easter was so lonely. We spend Easter weekend outdoors with family and friends. Easter 2019 we spent camping with dear friends and doing our egg hunt in the woods. Last year we did an egg hunt in the backyard with just the 4 of us. This year we were lucky enough to participate in 3 pandemic wise Easter egg hunts. We started our morning doing a street wide egg hunt. The neighbours all hid color-coded eggs in the yards and the children on the street took turns going from house to house to find them all. Have I mentioned how much I love our little neighbourhood?
Next we set out to a large field near a friends house and did another egg hunt. These friends are basically family. We spend more time with this family than some of our blood relatives. The kids were really good about giving each other space. J did some of the hiding and he delighted in making them particularly tricky. Even the tallest of the kids (that would be A) needed a stick to get the eggs out of the tree. It was great fun though.
Finally we ended our day doing an egg hunt in Grandma's garden. By that point the sun had been out all afternoon so many of the chocolates were warm and melting but my kids didn't mind a bit. I think it's safe to say we have enough chocolate to last the rest of the year. And enough love and smiles to fill our cup for another week of pandemic life.
