Easter egg hunts

Little Miss, Little Miss, here's one.....come over here Little Miss, quick, quick, quick.

Ahh the annual Easter egg hunt.  A week or two late, as it was the first time we'd properly caught up with the family.  Little Miss's aunty loves the annual Easter egg hunt, despite being rubbish at it.  She needs so many hints and clues about where the bounty is 'cold...cold...hotter...hotter...bingo!'.

This year there were 18 of us, all hunting for the eggs.  I'd managed to get last minute at the supermarkets, when our usual creme eggs had already been sold out.  So Sunday had us wrapping mini-eggs in cling film, before granny and great-aunty set them out on the field.

I'd warned Little Miss's aunty that I'd had Little Miss in training during the previous year...and it worked.  Aunty found none of the general parcels, and had heavily laiden clues to find the three chocolate bunny rabbits (bought especially for Aunty, so she'd get something), whereas Little Miss and I found 7 packets.  Not bad for going the speed of a 22 month old!

For next year Little Miss needs to go it alone in finding the parcels, so that we can get even more together!  Better get her back in training.
