The Egg Hunt

Easter Weekend

We kicked off Easter weekend with egg dying with the Reids.  Finding white eggs in Singapore are a hunt in itself as most stores carry brown eggs.  We found enough eggs to dye and the kids had a ball coloring and decorating the eggs. 

Talking to a few of our non-American friends we found out that most other countries do not color eggs.  So a few of them ventured a go at attempting to color eggs...the instructions did not say to boil the eggs so lots of broken eggs and messes to clean up.  

Messy messy hands!

Egg hunting is also done differently here.  Most people that participate in egg hunts hunt for chocolate eggs.  Most were surprised that we hunted for plastic eggs filled with sweets, chocolates, or money.  Fortunately for me, one of my friend's here in Singapore told me before we moved over to bring my own plastic eggs as they are hard to find them in the stores.  At least, I did not have to hunt for plastic eggs in the stores.  I was well stocked!

Easter morning the kids awoke to the surprises the Easter Bunny left behind.  They were very happy that the Easter Bunny knew that we moved to Singapore.

We spent the rest of our Easter Sunday at Mary and Brian Dean's house.  To read about and see about our actual Easter Sunday check out this blog.  I forgot my camera but I bet you can spot our kids throughout some of our friend's pictures.  If you are adventurous and scroll through the rest of her blog you might spot Brian...
