Easter Eggstravaganza at Willows Activity Farm

amomentwithfranca · 27 March 2016 · 22 Comments

We had such a great time last weekend at Willows Activity Farm where they had awesome Easter Eggstravaganza activities organised for the kids.

Willows Activity Farm is located in St Albans so it only took us 30 minutes to get there by car from London. It’s a great place to visit with the whole family, where you find activities such as shows, funfair rides, inflatables and adventure play. There is so much to do that your kids will love it. I will do a more extensive post about what Willows Activity Farm has to offer so look out for that.

We made  a short video about the Easter Egg Hunt which you can see below:

As it’s Easter this post is all about the exciting Easter Eggs Hunt that we did as part of the Easter Eggstravaganza activities. Bella was really excited to go to the Easter Garden area where it took place. It was all really well organised and the decorations were lovely. I was very impressed as they had really done a good job.

When we arrived they explained that the girls needed to search for and collect 5 different colour wooden egg shape tokens (yellow, green, red, blue and orange) in order to  win 5 chocolate eggs. My girls were each given a little plastic basket so they were able to collect the tokens.

There were several wooden little houses around the Easter Garden area which was so nice for the girls to go in and check for tokens. Sienna loved it as she really wanted to go inside them and play.

There were also lots of bunnies everywhere dressed with different coloured clothes. There were also big wooden egg shapes in different colours.

It was a relatively big space for them to run about with freedom and have lots of fun searching. Of course, Bella had to guide Sienna as she didn’t have much of a clue about what to do lol. However she understood that she would get some chocolates at the end.

We searched all around in order to get all the different colour tokens. Bella was very good at it, finding them all pretty quickly! This meant we could then take the tokens to the “egg exchange” house to each collect 5 mini eggs. They were so happy when they got their chocolates!!!

We were really lucky because when we arrived at the Easter Garden the sun was out making it look even more beautiful with lots of colours. We couldn’t miss this opportunity so I asked Nick to take some photos of me and the girls in front of some of the cool decorations. You can see below all the photos we took together. They were lovely!

What do you think of our Egg Hunting? Will you go to Willows Activity Farm with your family and experience it too? Have you been there or done your own Egg Hunting this year? Leave your comment as I would love to read what your thoughts are. 

*Disclaimer: we were invited to spend the day at Willows Activity Farm in exchange of an honest review. All my thoughts are my own.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    The kids looked like they had a lot of fun! We took ours to an indoor egg hunt (too rainy for outdoors) but it was far too busy and we felt rushed along. This looks far better.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.
