Hunt

We should have known that getting a little Easter Chic would result in a big basket of colourful eggs. How do they do that? So, we hid them in the garden, and Liam had a hand at his first Easter egg hunt this year. (see comments) Haha!  

He caught on instantly and was in the game from the get-go. He had a sharp eye and I could barely keep up to him with my camera.

The basket was full in no time and soon he had to get a back- up basket.

Some hiding places were  obvious.

Of course, he had to check in with Nana to get an accurate count and show her how well he was doing.

Some hiding places were not obvious at all, but he spotted a bit of colour and ....  

Victory! But the basket was getting full again.

Always time for a photo-op. Cheeeeese!

He was having so much fun that we (read 'he') did not want it to end so we took some eggs from the first basket and re-hid them. This trick will not work next year.

I don't know who had more fun, the kids or the adults. His two big brothers were great sports and let him find most of the eggs. After, he was given a lesson in sharing, when they each got equal amounts. He was good with it. We will let his mom and dad deal with the inevitable sugar highs.

For the record this was Liam's second Easter egg hunt :)

Do we count the first one, of which he probably has no recollection? OK. Let's, because we remember it.

How cute is that! It rained here, so the hunt happened indoors--- again. Oh, well, it's the chocolate that counts.
