Easter Egg Hunting

It was a busy Sunday of Easter egg fun for G. We started off in our back garden, where G got down to the serious work of finding little chocolate eggs that Mrs J had hidden about the place.

Not that G was in the mood for sharing them out afterwards:

We then went for an afternoon at Dunham Massey Hall near Altrincham. It's a big National Trust pile, and there was a trail laid out in the gardens for little ones to follow. Not that G was initially too sure:

But she soon perked up, and particularly enjoyed sitting in this tree:

On the way around, we encountered some chickens:

And eventually G was rewarded for completing the trail with a(nother) chocolate egg. Which she is going to enjoy rather more than this photo, when we dig it out at some future social occasion:

Easter Cakes

G went through another rite of passage over the Easter weekend, as she made chocolate rice crispy cakes with Mrs J. She'd already brought one home from nursery, and seemed to know a lot about what to do. Here she is standing on a chair and dishing the mixture into the cases. Much to her disapppointment, we didn't let her eat them all.
