Easter

Here are some pictures we'd like to share from last weekend's Easter festivities. Good Friday and Monday were considered holidays so we had a four day weekend with the kids. Even in Kenya, there was plenty of Easter fun for Anna and Leo.

On Friday, the kids decorated sugar cookies at Dr. Carol Spears' house.


On Saturday, all the kids on the compound joined together for an Easter Egg Hunt with plenty of candy-filled eggs for everyone.

We then had a "surprise treat". One of the pet turtles, Baringo, died and Uncle Jason Fader decided to perform an autopsy to find the cause of death. Gruesome but quite interesting. The kids on the compound loved it...how often will they ever get a chance to be this close to turtle anatomy. Cause of death...likely cancer (a lot of swollen lymph nodes, but then again, do we really know what normal-sized turtle lymph nodes are?).

Sunday started with an amazing sunrise Easter service. We woke up and walked out our front door...the service was held on our front lawn since we get a beautiful view of the sun coming up over the hills at 6:20am. Everyone brought flowers to place on the cross.



Monday, we took a leisurely hike down to the waterfall which was a great ending to our Easter weekend.
