News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
With Kai gone in Bali we did our Easter celebrations almost 2 weeks ago. Still, here are a few pictures. Enjoy…

This one is a little late but here are some pictures from the latest Easter festivities including the dyeing, hiding and subsequent finding of Easter eggs.
Here are a few pictures from the recent Easter celebration. We colored eggs using just food coloring this year and it worked out well.  The kids left our unpeeled carrots (the Easter Bunny prefers these – it is known), cabbage leaves and carrot juice. The Easter Bunny hid eggs for the kids and left them a clue hunt that led them to their Easter baskets.
It always seems to take a while before I manage to download photos from the camera, sort them on the computer, select a few and upload them to the site. This year’s Easter is no exception. With a Thursday/Friday weekend over hear celebrating Easter on Sunday is less than ideal so we took advantage of some of the Easter Bunny’s off-peak rates and took a visit on Friday morning.  Later we attended an excellent neighborhood Easter celebration complete with egg hunt and sack races.  Enjoy the pictures!
As we explained to Kai and Nora the Easter Bunny sometimes makes his visit slightly before or after Easter just to distribute his work load. In fact EB seems especially fond of delivering baskets on Friday mornings which makes it very convenient for locations that honor a Thursday/Friday weekend. It gave us the chance to have a leisurely morning of hunting for baskets and sipping coffee later.  Enjoy the pictures.
Truth be told it was Friday, not Sunday that the Easter Bunny came. Since Sunday is a work day here we put in a special request that he visit us early and, since Dad has some Easter Bunny wasta, he was happy to comply.
The Easter Bunny hid some baskets with books and a new toy in the house and then left a series of clues scattered through the house. Each clue was a picture inside an egg that led to the next clue until finally the basket was found. Kai and Nora really got into it and it was a hoot to watch them decipher the trail.
When that was done we found the Easter Bunny had left some plastic eggs hidden outside. Some had chocolate and some were filled with confetti that looked like someone had emptied the bin on an automatic 3-hole punch. Clearly the Easter Bunny works in an office when he isn’t doing his egg gig.
I know that Easter came and went some time ago but I haven’t been updating this site recently so the pictures are somewhat backed up. We just got back from a 5 day trip to Bangkok where Crystal presented at the NESA Spring Educators Conference. I’ll have a couple of galleries from that trip posted once I get the pictures sorted.  Here is a gallery of what happened on the Friday after Easter (we waited for our weekend). Enjoy!
