Easter in England

This year we spent Easter in England with our family.  The Easter bunny in England definitely raised the standard.  The English Easter bunny (Aunt Beth & Uncle Graham) provided a lot more candy, toys and a book than we have previously given the kids.  They also laid out a piece of string that went through multiple rooms that the kids had to follow in order to find their easter baskets.  After finding the easter baskets and eating a bunch of candy we were served a big breakfast with bacon and eggs as well as homemade cinnamon rolls.  It was delicious!  After breakfast we headed out to Great Windsor Park for a nice walk to burn off some of those calories we ate at breakfast and some of the sugar the kids consumed from their Easter baskets.  The kids loved playing in the park and our walk ended at a playground which made it even better. 
In the afternoon Jason and I hid the plastic eggs filled with candy in the yard and then sent the kids out for an Easter Egg hunt.  They all had a blast.  There is still one egg remaining in the yard since none of the kids could find the last one and Jason and I couldn't remember where we hid it.  It will give the girls cousins something to look for over the summer.  It was a fantastic Easter day with family.  I will have to think about what to do next year so that the kids enjoy it just as much.
