Easter weekend wouldn’t be the same without an egg hunt. In fact, the wee girl had been asking when we were having ours all week!
So, come Sunday morning, eggs were scattered around the garden and we braved the dull, cold morning. Not that you’d think it was cold looking at the kids, but I was wrapped up in a big coat and fluffy boots :)
The 9yo now joins in with these things to help the other two out. He kept an eye on who was getting what, and then made sure that there was an even distribution of candy, bless him.
Most of the photos I took are a blur of motion as the 6yo and the wee girl ran around. Squeals from the wee girl letting us know when she’d spotted an egg.
Some eggs were easier to find than others :)
It really was the wee girl’s morning though. Her face! She had a blast and declared it the best Easter ever.

Oh my goodness your kids are so cute! I can hear the squeals by just looking at their smiling faces! There is nothing like an outside Eater egg hunt :)
Thank you Jen :) They did have a good time!
I can just imagine wee girl squealing with delight and your eldest is so king to be the one helping and making sure everyone found their share. I hope he had enough too. Our Sunday hunt was much the same with all our guests. I recruited Guy and Clio to help me with Egg hiding and keeping things fair with the guests and then did a little hunt just for my six in the garden after. I had just the same problem capturing photos, it is so hard to try and keep up with them and capture the moment before they are off again. Wee girl’s face shows pure delight in finding her eggs. Thank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
It was almost impossible to get photos of them, most of them really were just a blur of motion :) The wee girl has the best time, it was lovely to watch x
Aaaw <3 your kids are super cute. I can understand the squeals every time she spotted an egg. :) Love your garden too. xx
Thank you :) There was a lot of squealing!
Ah, so adorable. Our oldest does the same – likes to organise and watch over the proceedings to make sure all is fair. You’ve captured the excitement so well here. Best wishes for a lovely spring, Sarah
Thank you Sarah, as we look out on to snow (?!?), I am very much looking forward to spring arriving properly!
Ah gotta love a good easter egg hunt and your girl clearly did too! Gorgeous photos and glad they all had so much fun! Xx
Absolutely, and yes, the wee girl loved it :)
Looks like your children had a lot of fun doing their Easter egg hunt – and great that the 9yo still joins in and helps his younger siblings out and makes sure that things are shared out fairly too! Love the wee girl’s pose in the penultimate photo :-)
Yes, that’s one of my favourite photos, she does make me laugh :)
Awww so cute!! They all look so happy to be taking part in the Easter egg hunt. Love your garden too, so lovely! #countrykids
They really did have a great time! Our garden is a bit unmanageable to be honest, but great for things like this :)
Wee girl looks so happy! Easter hunts are the best. Even though we had gone to a National Trust one I still had to organise one in our garden in between rainfalls.
She did have a good time, she just gets so excited by everything, it’s lovely :)
Sounds like despite the cold the kids definitely enjoyed their Easter egg hunt and the photos appear to reflect this. #countrykids
The cold didn’t bother the kids at all, just me!
How lovely! Looks like they enjoyed themselves.
They really did have a great time. Such a simple activity, but so much fun. Lovely to watch x
Bless her, I can just imagine the squeals of delight, there’s nothing quite like an Easter Eg hunt at home #CountryKids
It was lovely to watch, and listen to :)
Aw, she looks like she had a blast, and a full basket of eggs. So nice to be able to get out and do a hunt.
She really did, she does everything with so much enthusiasm :)
Look at those gorgeous smiles. Looks lot a lot of fun :-) x
They really did have fun, lovely to watch x
Her face, that expression is what easter egg hunt is all about! Happy kids and traditions. Your eldest is just the best in making the egg hunt a balance one!
#countrykids
Her face was a picture, so fun to watch her :)
Looks like a fun Easter egg hunt. Good job to big brother for watching out for his siblings.
It was fun, and big brother does do a good job :)
Looks fab. Nothing better than an egg hunt. We did one outside as it was raining and Amelia kept asking for them to be hidden again and we did manage to get outside for one hunt. Lovely photos even if they are mostly running about! X
It was good fun, nothing like finding chocolate to start your day right :)
Wow are those rocks in your garden?! Amazing! That makes for a really exciting egg hunt! Xx
They are indeed, the area we live in is built on/around a lot of rock! We happen to have rather a lot of it in our garden :) The kids love it!
It’s the simple things that they enjoy the most and looks like you’ve got a great garden to do it in.
It really is the simple things, they love being in the garden for any reason, chocolate is an added bonus :)
This looks like loads of fun – I bought some of the plastic eggs too and filled them with bunny and chick marshmallows! H x
The plastic eggs are great, I popped M&Ms, mini eggs and jelly beans in them :)
Oh my goodness, how cute! I just love to see kids doing this at Easter. My ten year old son will be the same next year when my little one is old enough to do an egg hunt – bless them! Such lovely pictures too x
It’s really lovely to watch how excited they get :)
Awww how adorable. She looks like she had the time of her life. Well done for doing the hunt outside. I wasn’t brave enough lol x
I have to admit, it was blooming cold, but the kids didn’t care!
What an amazing place for an Easter egg hunt! We had to do ours indoors but lamb still loved it, he was the only one looking so got all of the eggs! X
This is adorable. We did an egg hunt for my nieces and it got very competitive.
Outdoor hunts are the best. We went to one at a farm and that was so much fun!
