Easter

We had a fantastic Easter holiday celebrating with family and friends.  On "Easter Eve" (as London called it) we made Easter baskets and dyed eggs.

After church on Sunday, we had organized a neighborhood egg hunt and Easter basket competition.  Believe it or not, plastic eggs are a hot commodity on this island for despite there being a plethora of kids, the Exchange only gets a limited shipment each year.  At first we were only going to have 12 eggs per kid but then Kelly scored a garbage bag full of hundreds of plastic eggs on our local "Craig's list" type site and we were in business!

The guys were put in charge of hiding the eggs and they came up with some pretty creative places - like in doggy poop bags! (empty ones, not used!)

All the kids lined up  for the Easter basket competition.

After the hunt, we relaxed "Trailerhood" style in the front yard.  What do I mean?  Look at the picture - it says it all!

Finally, ended with a yummy meal with Liz, Don, Lydia, Krimp, Dima and Zac.  Beautiful day!
