For the second year in a row, we (me and the Rossers) dyed Easter eggs and had an egg hunt with the neighborhood kids on the Saturday before Easter. This isn't really a custom that Tanzanians participate in, so it's hard for the kids to fully understand what we're doing and why we're doing it. But that doesn't stop us from having a great time!

Check out this little egg.
I think my favorite part of the day was when one of the girls saw David walking back from the duka with juice he just bought for the kids to drink and she says with glee, "ARE WE GOING TO HIDE THE JUICE NOW!?"
Dogs, kids and chickens all race around the yard to find the eggs.
We had to keep a close eye on the dogs and chase them away a lot because they were keen to get the eggs and eat them before the kids could find them!
Counting the eggs to be sure we found them all.
After the hunt was over, all the kids were able to eat a few eggs and a glass of mango juice.
Enjoying the fruits of their labor...well, I guess that would be the fruits of the chickens labor.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday and wishing you continued blessings for the whole Easter season.
