So far, in Toronto, this weekend has been a gorgeous one full of sunshine! And with the last bout of snow behind us (fingers crossed!) it certainly felt like spring. We took off for the waterfront today for a little stroll with the littles and the grandparents for a little beach walking and impromptu Saturday Easter egg hunt in Marie Curtis park.
Ok, so Easter isn't really all about bunnies and eggs and chocolate, but watching Gabriel's excitement over a little hunt for eggs and eating chocolate until we are silly is just good fun on a Saturday. Last year, (click here) I sprinkled the lawn behind our townhouse in DC with little foil wrapped eggs and let Gabriel run around looking for them. But he was really too young and went running toward puddles in his moccasins while we eagerly pointed out each egg. Ha!
But this year was so delightful to watch him hunting around looking for the big pastel-coloured eggs in the park. He was all excitement and exclamations of discovery and smiles and mouthfuls of chocolate, even if most of the eggs contained nothing. He proudly walked around with his little basketful of empty eggs all morning. And then in the afternoon, took great amusement in hiding them in spots around the sun room for us to find. Oh, the simple pleasures!
Apparently, Gabriel feels the same way I do. He just can't stop kissing her beautiful little head.
Gorgeous blue skies!! Hello Spring!
Happy Egg Hunting with your littles. Hope you took as much pleasure in watching the little people in your life run around smiling today as we did.
