I love the Easter holidays, spending time with my beautiful family making more memories for the family album.Even thou we woke to grey skies this morning I knew it would not stop our fun, once we where dressed and ready to go we decided to pop into town to grab the last few bits for the Easter Egg hunt, I must say that Poundland are smashing their Easter collection this year, we decided on the packs of plastic coloured eggs there are 10 eggs per pack so I purchased four packs. really nice little touch is that they open up so we decided to put little chocolate balls inside, we brought more Easter eggs,Easter bunting, arts and crafts and sweets. Once arriving home the children wanted to ride on their scooters for a little while so that is what we did and it was a lovely walk around the park, stopping off at the play ground pushing the boys on the swings and watching them go down the slide it is what Sunday’s are all about. Seeing the smiles across my little boys faces knowing they are happy It makes a parents day.After some time we decided to walk home, making sure everything was Packed for the egg hunt we left for the Tea Room,it’s a perfect little spot to setup the egg hunt for my children acres of greenery, apple trees and so much open space it was perfect. We arrived and we decided to order food first Kallem and Zachary wanted homemade sausage rolls with a side of pickle and garnish, us adults went for cheese and red onion toasties with a side off salad and corkers crisps. Very satisfying especially now the sun is out so decided to sit outside and admire the view.
Once we had finished eating we had a look in the farm shop, lovely fresh vegetables,goose eggs, fruit and juices all made from local businesses which is a lovely touch.I decided to buy half a dozen eggs and some apple juice in a lovely glass bottle. Moving on to the gift shop every time we visit there is always a new display which is always lovely to see, stunning wood work with so much colour,so many beautiful pieces,everyone is always so friendly when we visit always talking to their customers. and was happy to let me use their space for our Egg hunt which was great because the boys where eager to start searching for the eggs.
I love the little baskets they used today, we also purchased these from Poundland as well, so many places to look and I couldn’t make it to easy so the eggs where hidden well, and off they went searching high and low. The best part is they are children and only young once so if they want to get on their hands and knees to look then let them it’s only a little mud after all so that is what they did. crawling through hay, around the fairy door,climbing little trees ( with mum’s guideance) off course working together to find all the eggs.
Button the bunny was being very cheeky whilst the boys where on their adventures, leaving little clues and moving the golden eggs, the boys where searching for quite some time however the baskets where becoming full. They did not realise though that inside the eggs where chocolate so they where pretty happy when one fell out and opened”Its magic mum,I have found the golden coin” said by my youngest son Zachary giggling away to he’s brother.
The sun went away and out came the grey skies again but by the look of their faces you can clearly see that the weather was not going to stop the fun they where having. they where very happy when they finally found all the eggs and coming towards the finish line and seeing all their Easter treats waiting for them, which I must add they will eat this amount off chocolate sensibly and in moderation .
Off course they asked if they could have some chocolate, so picking the Milky bar buttons they packed all their treats in the Easter bags provided and enjoyed their buttons.
Relaxing on the grass throwing the eggs into the air I captured a really cool photo I wanted to share with you.
Counting the eggs they found whilst enjoying their chocolate buttons having a little rest.
It has been a lovely Sunday full off fun and lovely food, It’s a shame about the weather but the children have really enjoyed their self’s, there has been alot off walking and country air which is always a plus and the children playing football and making up little games together which myself and partner became a part off, children’s imaginations are some times WAY out there but it just reminds me off myself as a child and how alike we actually are,
Always good to have memories,I loved this photo I managed to take of Zachary jumping , they love to be active and are always on the move. Sometimes I can’t keep up However it’s always fun trying.rolling around in the grass,by the time I checked my phone it had been hours that had passed
It’s been a long but fun day, the boys will sleep well tonight, I really enjoy family time it does not have to cost an arm and a leg to enjoy the holidays, I brought some bits from Poundland as well as Easter eggs and sweets and they have really enjoyed their time in the outdoors,
