Easter Sunday







What a beautiful Easter Sunday we had! We woke up again to beautiful blue sky's! The kids were up before 8 AM - Emma was looking for her Easter egg hunt! Danni had no clue but once he figured out he was looking for chocolate it was all good!!! Easter here isn't about bunnies and chocolate so you don't find much in the store for Easter candy. That is a good thing actually! Check out the baskets they had - they hold only a few pieces of candy. I think this is the size of basket that we should always use!! They searched for their candy and then of course had to eat one. Just one!! We had a big breakfast and leisurely morning. We thought about going to Old Town and go to church - there are 7 Catholic churches on one street - but after Friday and all the people that were there we figured it would be crazy. So we relaxed and enjoyed our coffee while the kids played. We headed to Parque Carolina (this is becoming our usual Sunday outing) and Danni kept chanting "Carolina - caballo's" which means horses all the way there! The park was extra busy today and the wait to ride a horse was too long so we skipped it. There is always so much going on in the park. There are lots of street performers that will just start up there act anywhere - like at traffic lights! Well, there was a guy setting up his performance in the park skating ramp. There were quite a few people waiting to watch him so we sat down. I barley understood anything that he said but he was still quite funny. The funniest part is that he kept messing with Hayden! The first time it was because he asked the crowd to clap and Hayden didn't. So he became a target! It was pretty funny! We strolled through the park all afternoon. Typically we get rained out after a couple of hours but not today. The sun was nice and hot! When we started to head home we couldn't find a cab so we just kept walking and walked all the way home. Now it isn't that far but when you are 3 years old with short little legs it is a pretty long walk! Danni walked all the way home even up the big hill! We must of walked over 3 miles!! It was a great Sunday. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday.

Tomorrow - Emma and Danni both need a haircut. Emma's hair grows like a weed in warm weather and Danni needs a trim. Need to look good for court on Tuesday! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers that all goes well on Tuesday. That is all for tonight! Mari


PS...I know the links to the videos I gave a week ago don't work. We have a horrible time trying to load anything. Even the pictures on the blog take an hour plus to load each night. My sister Nan is helping us get the videos onto YouTube. I will send out links once we get them all set up. Thanks Nan and Tom!!
