Easter Weekend

We had a fantastic Easter weekend!  Okay, the weather wasn't great, but the company definitely made up for it.  We had Lily's friend Lluc and his parents (Peter & Delores) along with grandpa (Avi) and little sister (Marina) stay with us at the beach house for three nights.  It was definite entertainment along with a lot of wake ups in the middle of the night between the three kids.  On Saturday we dyed Easter eggs at the house, hit the pool and then dyed more Easter eggs with all the other kids in the community at the activity center.  We had a LOT of eggs.  Oh and we had a fun pizza night on Saturday filled with banana and peppadew pizza (compliments of South Africa)

On Sunday the kids woke to the Easter Bunny having hid Easter eggs all over the house.  They had a lot of fun finding them, but I must say they were hid a little to well (hint, hint Dads).  Then we headed over to our community activity center where they had a second Easter egg hunt with all the other kids and even got a visit from the Easter bunny.  Plus they hit the pool again.  What fun.  Sunday night we got to enjoy Spanish paella thanks to Delores and her dad Avi who are from Spain.  What a treat that was.  I never knew how hard it was to clean a artichoke until this weekend.

On Monday our guests headed out a little early, but the weather was so nice (okay compared to what we've had the last three months) that we stayed until early evening and enjoyed being outside.  We went to Cape Henlopen state park and walked over the Great Dunes (the biggest dunes between Cape Cod and the Outer Banks of NC).  Lily enjoyed checking out the skate boarders that frequent the park and she got to hit the park rides as well.  Then we hit our favorite BBQ joint and did a little shopping before heading out of town.  A perfect end to a wonderful weekend.

Some pictures to share:
