Good Friday Part One

Megan's house was a little crazy. The kids that were there, 13 of them, were up at the crack of dawn to search for their Easter baskets. Elena's was the first to be found and Ana's the last. Oops. I guess I hid that a little too hard. I stayed in bed through it all--we were up late filling the Easter baskets, eating sushi, and filling Easter eggs. Then they all ate breakfast, I got up sometime after that, when a kid opened our door and then slammed it, waking up Elena. Then they colored Easter eggs once the rest of everyone arrived. That would be 5 more kids making a grand total of 18--all cousins except one friend. Following that was a grand frenzy of an Easter egg hunt and in the afternoon we went to the Clearfield Aquatic Center. It was really fun. Elena didn't like it at first, but after a while Leo got her to go in and she loved it! She went down the slide so many times. She always looked scared while sliding but after she would smile so big. Ana showed me her impressive cannonball and spent the time with her cousins. Then we went to Andrea's house and ate pizza and tried to convince Leo that buying the house across the street from her was a great idea. I don't know that we completely sold him on it. Anyway, fun times.
