The girls had the entire week off of school for Easter. I guess it is one of the benefits of starting back earlier in February than Graham and it being a Christian school. Graham and Brian joined the holidays with days off on Thursday and Friday. It was a great time to enjoy some family time without worrying about school and work.
So we kicked off Holy Thursday with some friends and headed to the beach. The weather is definitely turning into fall/winter. The water was extremely cold and with the sun behind clouds most of the day it was a tad bit chilly. However, that did not stop everyone from relaxing and having a great time.

| Graham's face is priceless as the cold water crashes into him. |

| Bryce, of course, only dipped her toes in the water. |

We spent Good Friday in Miraflores. We are trying to enjoy the outdoors for as long as possible. I am already dreading winter weather and it is not even here yet. While the pictures do not reflect the sun very well, we did have peeks of sunshine throughout the entire time we were out and about. We only live about 20 minutes from the coast but the weather is drastically different. At our house it was pure sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. But the coast seems to be headed for winter a little bit sooner than where our house is located.

On Saturday, Layne was the only one that wanted to color eggs this year. I guess it is a dying art in our family. I will say though it was definitely easier and less messy supervising one child instead of three.
However all 3 received some treats from the Easter Bunny and enjoyed hunting eggs the morning of Easter. It was nice to be able to celebrate Easter with new friends and and in a new country this year. We found other Texans here in Peru, so we celebrated with a Tex Mex fiesta and swimming in the pool. I have no actual pictures from Easter Sunday! I guess I was just too busy enjoying the day to think about getting out the camera.
Feliz Pascua!
