Easter week and weekend

Hi all,
Happy Easter. We sure had a full week of things to do and see. I
had written you earlier about the events we would do, but instead of
doing the cross carrying program up our casita, we took the kids into
town on Friday and watched the Dominicans re-enact the whole thing. I
will be posting photos on Picasa soon of this entire week's events.
Then on Saturday the marathon happened which Rachel Sawyer will post
on the blog for you to see. Sunday we woke up and were seated at TKB
on the hill by 6 am. The sun was already peeking over the hills and
then we had a song and Steve Frew preached. We then headed down to
have some movies: Veggie Tales (If you have NEVER watched Veggie
Tales you really are missing out on life) They are great and you
learn a lot from them. The kids then hunted Easter eggs and found
tons of candy inside the plastic egg shells. They began eating all
the candy and really did not have room for the huge breakfast of
french toast, syrup, ham and fruit salad. I had two boys have a
contest though to see how many french toast they could eat. One at 7
and the other one 10. UGH.

The kids returned to their houses and had a nap, and had their own
Easter egg baskets there. In the evening a huge meal was made at each
of the houses and the food was fantastic. They all watched a movie
after that.

On Monday, the girls house did an all day service project by planting
trees and then went to the river and jumped in clothes and all because
they were so dirty. They also went to eat in town and back for
another movie.

The boys hiked Flat Top (mountain to the side of us) and went to the
river and then ate in town and also watched a movie.

I hope your Easter week was just as busy as ours. Photos will be up soon.
