Easter 2010 in Dalian, China (3 comments)

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 04:27:00 -0700

Not only did American Easter sneak up on us this year but I had no idea the Ethiopian one was on the same day! Apparently, once every five years, the dates for the two Easters falls on the same day. Silly me, I was still counting on the Ethiopian one to being next weekend. Ah well. I will still make doro wot :) Outside of this one surprise, the holiday weekend was great. This year we did our Easter egg hunt in a beautiful little private park.

The kids listened to clues and ran to find the candy stashes.

Butterfly in the sky,
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It's in a book
Reading Rainbow.
I can go anywhere!
Friends to know
and ways to grow
Reading Rainbow.
I can be anything!
Take a look
It's in a book
Reading Rainbow.

We love books. We love Reading Rainbow! All is as it should be around here.
