An Excellent Outdoor Activity for Children in Spring - Looking for Sweet Treats in Our Garden

We thanked God that we landed back in Canada safe and sound after our oversea trip in March, 2024. It was spring, around Easter time and everything was coming alive again. In this day of age when children are so used to gluing in front of their computers or cell phones, it was a joyful sight to see all the little kids filling our backyard, running around looking for the little plastic eggs, exercising their little legs, laughing and having fun.

We hosted an outdoor fun activity in spring around Easter for B. and her little friends from school and church last year. They had so much fun that she wanted to have this special event again in our backyard. We love seeing children happy, particulatly if they are having fun in our house. We gladly agreed to host this event again.

There were some prparations we needed to do ahead of time, such as cleaning up the backyard, removing debris from last year's backyard renovation and making sure our house was presentable should our little guests or their parents need to come in for a rest or something. We were glad that Al. was helping us to finish many of these tasks. We cleaned up the whole yard, hid the Easter eggs all over the garden and finally got the tables set up with the prizes for the children.

We even offered refreshments to parents who were dropping off their kids for this Easter Egg Hunt party. They were happy as they sat on the deck, drinking their hot beverages and watching their children running around and having fun in the garden.

It was absolutley delightful hearing the children's laughter and shout for joy as they discovered the hidden eggs and collected them into their baskets. It was a really fun event not just for the kids, but for us as well. Thank God that we still were able to host this children's event. RT, Toronto, Canada 042024
