After a week of being stuck indoors due to snot ridden, cold infested boys it made a lovely change today to get out into the garden for some fresh air in the sun shine (and cold wind I may add!). Also to embark on an Easter egg hunt!
Some friends and family had given the boys some eggs and with the one we bought for each of them, I decided that rather just give them to the boys after breakfast, it would be much more fun to hide them all in the garden and get them to look for their chocolate egg loot.
It was a lot of fun and the boys spent quite a while searching for their Easter egg treasure
While Burton was looking for the final egg, Jenson took the ones he had off for a sneaky attempt at eating them – I caught him just as he had opened the wrapper on the one from Daddy and I!
After the hunt ended, the boys had enjoyed it so much they asked me to hide them all again so they could have another Easter egg treasure hunt! Funnily enough they found the eggs faster the second time around – hmmm I don’t think they had their eyes closed as they had promised!

Thank you xx
That made me laugh about the second time round! Some lovely photos Jenny and I am so pleased the boys are better in time to enjoy Easter. Thank you for linking up to Country Kids.
Gorgeous photos Jenny and I am glad the boys enjoyed Easter and felt a bit better. We also did an Easter egg hunt and I was unsure as to whether mads would understand but she loved every minute of it and was so excited looking for the eggs! x
Aww love this. You have a great garden! It’s so tricky trying to stop them from eating so much chocolate isn’t it! 🙂
Beautiful photo and they look like they had loads of fun
That’s so cute that they hid them all again. Gorgeous photos of your beautiful boys xx
Lovely photos Jenny & I love all the cooperation going on between the boys.
Aw, they do get on don’t they?! We, ahem, forgot to buy eggs this year but remarkably the kiddies weren’t bothered?!!? Lovely pics Jenny x
I don’t think my wee man would make it after he found the first egg that would be it! Looks like lots of fun!
Did you find it as difficult as I did to hide the eggs in an easy enough place for them to find, without making it too easy? Fabulous photos, they look like they’re really enjoying their egg hunt.
Nipping over from the Country Kids linky.
Haha, I love that you had to re-hide them. I had to do the same thing. The finding bit was just so exciting. And then he realised there was chocolate inside and suddenly it all changed, hehe!
Looks like you they had great fun, the photos are so lovely. X
Great idea. Looks like they had lots of fun
I’d never think of doing this for my boys in the garden. Great idea.
I know I say this a lot but your garden looks amazing and perfect for two outdoorsy boys.
I love that Jenson snuck off to eat an egg. Good boy! ha
Brilliant photos too xx
