A few mishaps along the way didn't set us back! [bad traffic and Julianna puked... she woke up complaining of a tummy ache but wasn't one to miss out ... the traffic plus tummy troubles sent her over the edge but it was one of the happy "oh I feel so much better now" situations so we quickly cleaned up the minimal damage and pressed on.]
We made handprint Easter lilies with colored paper and disposable chopsticks. And then dyed Easter eggs - always a treat, especially for kids that have never done it before!
The school enrolls about 20 kids in multiple grades. They have dreams to grow much bigger but for now it's a really great size for this type of morning activity.
And while the egg-dyeing finished up Julianna, Lydia and their friend Rejoice (one of the older students) snuck downstairs to hide Easter eggs.
The grassy area outside was the perfect spot and the hunt was a big success. The kids headed back inside to eat lunch and we three girls hurried for the van.... time to go get our little brothers!
The rest of the afternoon flew by. Matt is on a midnight flight home and we just started a 3 day weekend (this year a Chinese lunar holiday randomly lined up with Easter Monday). yay!

So fun to share this activity. Hiding is almost as much fun as hunting - the sweet joy watching and helping the little ones find those special eggs!
So very fun to know just where you guys went. Still have fond memories of such a sweet visit with your friends at their home, meeting his beautiful elderly mom, who reminded me some of my Mother, and just plain fun Easter kids stuff. Love you all.
Enjoying your pictures and blog, Laura! You are living life to the fullest! Happy Easter!
