Did you have a good Easter? Ours was unexpectedly really nice.From no plans at all to a small family dinner and egg hunt in a matter of an afternoon.
Sugarwing's mom ended up switching her plans, so we had our fairy grand child over night and all day. Dewdrop came over with her mom at dinner time, and we were able to find buckets full of eggs on the Fairy Berry Trail as the sun was setting.
And what beautiful weather we had! I'd thought I'd finish the banner I am working on for the Snow White blast coming up way too soon, but instead, I ran and played with Sugarwings all day and enjoyed the sunshine.
I was able to do some yard clean up too, and foofed the Fairy Berry Trail up for the season. Easter seems to be the time that we whip it into shape, just in time for hunting eggs the bunny left there.
Funny, how fast two little girls can find over 50 eggs. This was a quick run through the forest, with lots of squealing along the way. Dewdrop let out a yelp every time she spied an egg. And everything is a squealfest around Sugarwings anyway.
Luckily, I had plenty of plastic eggs up in the closet and could find packets of tiny toys and junky fun crap to stuff in them for our impromtu hunt.
Although, the few pieces of chocolate I had on hand were the biggest hits when the eggs were open, of course. But, I do think that if there was nothing in them at all, it wouldn't have dampened the fun.
The thrill of the hunt was the best part.
Dewdrop loved every minute of it. She is a cute age to be out in the woods gathering eggs.
She enjoyed the dying too, although it didn't last long because she thought it was just as much fun to pour the dye out on the ground as it was to dip the eggs in. But they had plenty of glitter paints to add to the eggs once the dirt under the table was dyed.
We sat up the mini picnic table in the gazebo and I turned the kids loose with dyes and glitters.
Which was a great plan, considering that everyone had been playing outside and there was a bit of mud from the gardening project clinging to them. Plus, Dewdrop's fascination with pouring out the dye worked better out doors than it would have inside.
I'll have more photos from the Mt. Dora trip after this little break for some Happy Easter wishes.
Fun Karla as always ….great photos, beautiful grand kids. I bet that sweet little Dewdrop had a good long bath after all of that ! 🙂 Sue
It looks like the grandfairies had a blast thanks to ready-for-anything Fairy Grandma Karla! Love the close-up of the caked-on mud on Dewdrop and the thought of her pouring out the dye on the ground!! I also love the Karla artwork at the end!
That artwork was a joint effort. And its done in glitter chalk! When the sun hits it, the sparkling is amazing!
Sometimes you just have to go out and play! How I love those little muddy feet! They make me smile!
