I've talked about the tradition of Easter hunts in my family and think it's not something everyone does.  Geoff certainly never did in his family, not with clues anyway, just the hunting for chocolate kind.  It's the highlight of the girls' Easter, more so than the chocolate.

This year the Easter bunny had Leila read her clues now she's a school girl and Ella had cryptic clues with the answers in a word hunt.



I'd liaised with the Easter bunny and at the end were handmade Maggie rabbits for each of them and, of course, some chocolate.  The rabbits were adoringly received - so so worth the effort of every stitch, plus a hundred times more.  Enjoy the time with your families.

A delicious Easter dinner at Nan and Pa's when I was far to absorbed in delicious food to take photos.  After dinner activities always include a number of dance performances, both in a pair and individually.  Last night lights off shadow dancing was a highlight - the next best thing to dancing in front of a mirror.

The girl was digging and then put her shovel aside so she could have a break and then her shovel was gone.


























A detective walked along from the park and said "What is wrong?".
"I was digging, put my shovel down, stood up for a break and someone took my shovel".

The detective said "I will look for it".  She went walked and found some footprints and went looking for more clues.


The detective started digging with her hands and found the shovel.  They jumped up and down to celebrate finding the shovel.
