So a belated Easter posting. Lynsey arranged an Easter egg hunt with a group of friends, all with little ones. How hard could it be herding 8(ish) toddlers around on a mad hunt for chocolate?? We were about to find out.
It all started a week or so earlier with an Easter bonnet making session. Lyns was in charge of the glue and James did the placing. One hour of hard work and the bonnet was all set. You tell me what you think, but I think the pair of them did a good job!
Look at my bonnet daddy
Even the mums and dads got involved with the bonnets!
If you show this to any one, there will be trouble!!! Oops!
Anyway, back to the egg hunt. The whole gang arrived at Homestead Park in York, bright eyed and bushy tailed with a lot of grand parents in tow. Now when I say bright eyed and bushy tailed, that was the children, the parents were showing the stress of making bonnets and the thought of chasing the kids round on the hunt. However, once it was known that there was gin cake, yes gin cake, the roles reversed with choruses of mummy daddy as the parents tried to sniff the cake out. After a quick play in the park, the hunt was a foot, for the kids that is.
Then came the hardest part of the day... The group photo. The best I managed were six in one picture. There were moments with the opportunity to get more in a picture, but I was not quick enough to grab the picture. Poor show on my part. At this point there was chocolate flying left, right and centre. No chance left of getting a full group shot so we slowly meandered our way back to the park for more cake, sorry, I mean so the kids could play some more.
I'm sure there are one or two missing
It was soon time to wrap up as it was a cold day and the little ones were starting to feel it. It was a lovely morning, all the kids enjoyed as did the everyone else. Hopefully this will become an annual tradition, eating gin cake that is - the egg hunt, well we shall just have to wait and see!
