Saturday I took Addison to the Easter Activity at the school. They had egg coloring...
She got to build a graham cracker house, or at least we started a graham cracker house...
She got to even go on an Easter Egg Hunt...
After the Easter activity at the school we went home and got Aaron (he was studying). We packed up our things and we went to Le Gallion Beach, Aaron hadn't been with us the week before and we wanted to do something fun with Addison. So we decided there would be the perfect place.
Addison got to play in the water with her daddy and also play in the sand which is one of her favorite things to do when we go to the beach. I really think I'll be finding sand in her hair for years to come no matter how much scrub. On our way home we stopped at McDonalds, Addison loves their french fries.
I can't get her to smile for pictures these days. She must be sick of my taking her picture, she still is so cute though with her little scowl haha.
Sunday right before Dinner we got our Easter Baskets. Our Easter baskets were super Ghetto this year, we used the 1 Gallon ice cream buckets from the Blue Bunny Ice cream. This looks like we probably eat a lot of ice cream.
Easter was pretty humble this year. My friend Stephanie went back to Utah for a couple weeks so I asked her to pick up a lift the flap bible book so that Addison could have it in her Easter basket. I am hoping it becomes a good source of entertainment during Sacrament Meeting. I would have done more for her but money is tight as a med student and I wasn't sure what else to do for her since I didn't have tons of options to choose from here on the island. So she got the book and some candy. Aaron and I just got candy, which I think is all we needed.
Today we went to Little Divi Bay and attended the annual Underwater Easter Egg Hunt that the nature foundation put on. You pay $10 dollars to participate and they drop a ton of hard boiled Easter Eggs down at the bottom of the ocean in a closed off area. Just Aaron participated and I watched Addison, and Kate for Stephanie and Austin. Aaron found 6 eggs, but lost all but 1 after he found out that he had a hole in his bag. He said at some points when he was diving he dove about 14 feet. He hasn't felt to good since. He isn't used to diving that low. After you get the eggs you take the to the ticket tent and they give you a raffle ticket. We ended up with 3 tickets because they give you one for registering, and one for each egg, which Aaron and Addison found another one later on so we snagged up 3 tickets. We did get two "Sun Bum" hats that we decided was worth our 10 dollars since we didn't end up winning anything with the raffle. Aaron said he knows what to do next year so that we have way more eggs and better chances at winning a raffle. The raffle prizes are pretty big. Some of the prizes were valued at about $250+. They were for different fun things you could do around the island that were valued at that price. It was a bummer we didn't win anything but we had fun none the less.
Aaron had both Friday and Monday off of school so he was able to study all day Friday and then play a little Saturday, and today. It was a great Easter weekend, and I'm grateful that we were able to spend it together before Addison and I leave to go back to the states on Thursday.
I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful that because of Him I can start again, I can have a clean slate, and a new beginning. Because of Him I can be with my family forever.

Sunday we went to church and had a great fast and testimony meeting. After we came home Addison was playing out on the front porch with the sea shells we have collected since being here. We left the door open so we could hear Addison through the screen door. We went to go change and then I heard someone say my name, so I went out to see who was at the door and it was one of our neighbors. She had Addison in her arms. I wondered why she'd picked her up considering Addison was just out on the porch playing with her sea shells. Then she told me Addison was out in the parking lot (which is right by our apartment) running around. We are so lucky she picked her up and knew she was ours and that she didn't get hit by a car or anything. Shes a quick one, and she loves to be able to just run around and play and just wander. I'm constantly chasing her around. We are so lucky that our neighbor brought her back to us!
