Easter Weekend

Easter weekend has been an eventful one. Although away from family, we managed to be quite involved this weekend. On Thursday, we participated in the Passover Sedar Meal in order to gain a greater understanding of the Last Supper. It is quite an intricate meal with lots of symbolism. You can find some information about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover_Seder.

On Saturday, we went to a base Easter egg hunt. Olivia did pretty well holding her own. After a good nap, we headed to the beach to hang out with good friends.

Then, on Sunday, we woke up at 5:00 a.m. to attend a sunrise service. We returned to the house to find where the Easter Basket was hidden. Olivia spent the next 3 hours eating candy. Then, we returned to the church for a children's church Easter message, followed by another Easter egg hunt.

We were pretty tired by then, so we came home and Olivia took a nap. When she woke up, we went to eat lunch downtown. After a good lunch, we went to Underwater World. I'm pretty sure the 20 lbs of candy Olivia had eaten provided enough energy for her to run through the exhibit and run laps around the aquariums over and over and over again!

When we returned home, we took the eggs we had colored and hid them outside. Olivia found 9 of 11 before saying she was done. She wanted to crack and eat them. Mainly, she wanted to crack them.

And now, at 6:00, she is ready for bed. Her parents aren't too far behind her. Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend. If you want more, you can always visit the the Yahoo pictures page by clicking the link on the right. Or, you can click here:
