A very different Easter

Chocolate eggs. Chocolate rabbits.  Chocolate anything. Oh it would be nice to be a child again and not on a 365 day diet that stops us thinking these thoughts. Just as well we have 3 amazing children that can (and do) have these thoughts and enjoy it for us. 

This year, Easter is very different for us in that we are not racing away with an unauthorised early hour off work on Thursday night to arrive at a packed campground in the dark for a 4 day getaway. In fact, on this Thursday night before Easter, I am working from home and Tracy is out with her friends.

On Friday, I pottered around the house, in the garden and had Tracy’s parents over for lunch. Saturday saw us catching up with some friends at the River Murray for the day, enjoying a day of knee boarding, boating, tubing and even some skiing by the kids (and maybe a drink or 3 with a BBQ tea)

Easter Sunday was a traditional morning hunt by the kids for the mysterious chocolate Bunny droppings in locations that the dog couldn’t reach overnight, followed by an hour or more of them pretending not to eat too much, yet somehow devouring what seemed to be nearly a Kg if chocolate. We then headed off to a beautiful Adelaide Hills winery called Anderson Hill. It is a beautiful location out the back of Lenswood with some great food and wine and 16 or so friends that joined us for a very different (for us) Easter Sunday. Finally, it was time to leave and head back home to start packing for our holiday starting tomorrow (Easter Monday)

This trip sees us away for 4 nights, coming back on Friday. Just in time for a few weekend tasks before the kids head back to school next Monday.
