Easter egg hunt in the dunes

My little girl and her basket of Easter eggs
My blog stood silent in the last couple of days as the frenzied activities during the Easter holidays left me with hardly any time to sit in front of the PC.
We sure had a great time doing this year’s Easter egg hunt though the temperature was not as warm as it was the year before. Thanks to the suggestion of our neighbor, we did the egg hunt in the sand dunes of Soesterduinen, a lovely nature reserve area which is pretty close to our place. The kids had a great time being let loose in a seemingly endless sand box. There were also trees that were just perfect for climbing and before long, all of them were up in the tree.
This place is one perfect paradise for kids and one cannot help but be charmed by everything it has on offer. To us parents, we could enjoy moments of lively conversation without worrying about our kids who are safe in all the games that they can think about in this place.
We will surely be back again when the weather warms up and all of us have a free Sunday to spare. The kids can hardly wait…
The sand dunes of Soesterduinen look like an endless sand box
Pine trees sparsely populate the sand dunes
These low lying pine trees with outstretched branches are perfect for climbing
Under the tree, we could have that perfect picnic
The kids cannot resist the lure of tree climbing
Such a huge area to run around and look for the Easter eggs
More eggs!!!
Too many eggs to hunt
Eggs were everywhere...even up in the tree
There is always that look of wonder and amazement with every egg find
Easter eggs ... both real eggs and chocolate ones

Sometimes it is easy to climb but difficult to get down
