We started the weekend out right by getting Good Friday off work. A group of us went down to the Banana River (30 mins south) to go kayaking. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. I was hoping manatees would come tip over our kayaks, but no such luck. One of our friends from church owns Calema Windsurfing & Watersports and they were kind enough to let us borrow a couple of their kayaks. We rounded up the other four from other generous friends. It was so pleasant to be out on the water paddling, drifting, and enjoying life.
This is Susie, owner of Calema...she's a pro at windsurfing. Next time we go I want to try it out!
Every 6 months in April and October our Church has a world General Conference where we get to listen to instruction from church leaders. There are five two-hour sessions, three on Saturday and two on Sunday. It is broadcast via satellite/internet, so we gathered at Sarah & Trevor's house to listen to conference. We had a yummy breakfast bar with french toast, crepes, yogurt, fresh fruit, sausage, bacon, and cinnamon rolls. We also dyed easter eggs and prepared for the first annual Egg Roll Contest. My friend Aly's family does this every year and I thought it was such a fun idea that I wanted to do it too! And guess what...my red #1 egg was really number one, it dominated, or maybe it was just me that dominated :)
They turned out so pretty!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it has such a special meaning and is a fun low-key family holiday. On Sunday all of us pitched in to make a fabulous Easter dinner. It was quite the spread, in fact we are still trying to finish it! The ham and mashed potatoes were oh so good! And I was so excited because my dinner rolls turned out well this time. That evening we took a nice stroll and played a game of throw golf. It was a great weekend. I'm so thankful that we've made such good friends during our time here in Florida. I love Easter!
