Easter in Okinawa

This is not even half of the eggs that were hidden!

Easter came and went without too much excitement. It rained the entire day, sometimes hard, but we still celebrated. We went to 8am mass then it was off to the Bourquins for an Easter celebration. There were 8 families there and a lot of eggs to find. Our neighbor, Chris goes and puts all the eggs on the hill behind Trina's house while we are at church, so when we all get home, the egg hunt can start. Since it was raining, we decided to eat first and then do the egg hunt.
All the kids before the hunt began.

Everyone brought a dish to pass so there was plenty of food. Trina made Me-A-Mosas, to everyone one who doesn't speak southern, it is a mimosa! Everyone was having a great time. We actually forgot about the eggs, so when we finally did do them, the candy was a little wet. We finished off the evening with a little Wii Rock Band.


This same group will gather in two weeks for another party as Hunter and Catherine (Trina's daughter) make there first communion. Really, it is just another reason to get together and eat and drink.

Soccer is still going and spring break will be starting on the 12th. More from us later.
