Happy Easter!

Oh, the joys of everybody's favorite road-tripping, egg hiding, gun shooting, weenie roasting, chocolate eating holiday! Well, maybe not all families have the exact same traditions, but the same spirit runs through them all. On account of our location, we couldn't keep up several of the above traditions, but we did keep up some of the most important. And we made up for it in quantity. Three egg hunts for Senor! (He's going to need all the practice he can get if he ever hopes to find any of Gramps hidden eggs some lucky Easter!) Granted, they were at a beginner skill level. Green, if you're thinking in ski hill terms. Well, to be perfectly frank, the term "hidden" is a bit of a stretch. But still, practice makes perfect! And P.Rev certainly made some big strides between this year and last. At this rate of improvement, he'll be unstoppable. Watch out, Musa and Arashi!

Egg Hunt Part I:


Pax Rev, Ryo, and every other kiddo in town anxiously await the starting bell.


Here's a video at the PCR at the site of Easter Egg Hunt #1. Find Waldo! See if you can spot Mama and Boodah. It took us five minutes to find ourselves, and we were there!



Is this what we're looking for?




This is as close as Senor was going to get to Mr. Easter Bunny this year. He was not into sitting on the big fluffy's lap, unlike last year when he was still young enough to be oblivious.




Ryo wasn't scared though...




Off to the next mission, free cake! More sugar power! Hooray! What a holiday!






And then to the library, for story time with Genevieve Cook. (Not really. Ever since The Little Engine That Could, the local paper mysteriously has been listing every Saturday at 2:00 PM as Story Time with Genevieve Cook. So it's become a bit of a joke.) But seriously, we went to story time, which was cancelled on account of the Easter festivities. We made our own story time, and all the rugrats got a prize for our coloring skills out of the deal. In any event, the non-moving fluffy bunny was deemed far less threatening by Conner, Ryo, and Paxson.

And for the most part, this was our Easter weather...

The standard Dutch Harbor blizzard. The attorneys who were out here for last week's trial, which ended Wednesday, didn't make it back to Anchorage until Sunday night!

Egg Hunt Mission #2

Egg dying mission:

When a mysterious hour of blue sky showed up Sunday afternoon, we hustled outside for our chance at an authentic outside Easter egg hunt!
