Easter Egg hunts

Beth took part in two Easter Egg hunts this year! One was at our neighbour's church, & the other was at the local recreation/sports centre. Beth went to the egg hunt at out neighbour's church with our neighbours & their nieces, Megan & Natalie. Firstly, Beth listened to a story before playing a few group games (one of which included having to pick up a brightly coloured foil butterfly & placing it on a chair on top of a table using only a drinking straw & the suction created by sucking on the straw). The she did some crafts, including decorating a plant pot & planting a flower in it, & then she had an Easter Breakfast. While all this was going on, members from the congregation hid literally hundreds of eggs for the children to find. Beth had a great time & managed to find more than 50 eggs!

We then quickly drove to our local sports centre for Beth's second egg hunt of the day. Beth made it just in time for the last hunt of the morning. A number of eggs had been hidden outside the centre & the children were allowed to find eight eggs each. She also got to do some colouring & had a 2nd Easter Breakfast!
