Hippity Hoppity ... the Easter Bunny is here

Bunnies and chickens ... colourful eggs ... and the hunt for chocolate - what more could one ask for?

Our Easter Sunday started with Joshua racing into our bedroom at 7am to announce that the Easter Bunny had left him a wee bucket of Easter eggs. But what he was most excited about was a hand-written note from the Easter Bunny inviting him to go on a chocolate treasure hunt.

Well that Easter Bunny was VERY clever this year and sent both Daddy and Josh off together - but the rules were different this year - no running off, no competing with each other - this time they had to corroborate and work out the clues 'together' and they had to share the find!

The Easter hunt has 30 different clues and the hunt started at our house and had them running over a kilometre down through the park, the school and along the streets before heading back home for the grand finale. Some of the clues had them solving maths questions, spelling words, doing star jumps, playing hop-scotch, dancing and boogie-ing in the streets, doing hops on one foot and jumping with two feet. Some of the clues were easy, some were difficult, some were short and others were sung - they had to really listen hard and work together as a team and earn the chocolates this year.

I am sure the neighbours wondered what Daddy and Josh were doing running very fast around the neighbourhood doing all sorts of crazy things and both carrying a pink bucket each!

A great day ... thank you Easter Bunny, we have enough chocolate to last us for a very long time !
