I wait every year to say, "Christos Anesti!" I'm not Greek, but my children have an obsession with the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. This year we celebrated Easter and Passover. But before we talk about the holidays, I want to mention that we ate at Osaka's and loved it! We are some sushi eating people. Osaka was good food and good Barrow prices.
Bento Box #2 Onagashimasu
Crunchy crab for the little one.
This is what 10pm looks like right now. Its almost time for 24 hours of daylight.
And now time for some eggs....
Eggs are $7 a dozen in Barrow. I was not going to spend that much and not eat the eggs. I opted for the $2 Walmart non-edible eggs. I bought white ones to dye and chalkboard ones to draw on. We used Kool-aid and vinegar to dye the eggs. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
We tried a lot!
But as you can see, the eggs float! They didn't get dyed very well.
So we gave up and did beauty masks.
Saturday after Crafternoon we went to celebrate Passover with our Jewish friends. We love the Coleman's! They have included us in some of their holiday celebrations. This was our first Passover. The food was good. I missed the horseradish... thank goodness!
This is a series of pictures of the kids running to find the hidden Matzah bread.
Young and old, they looked for it!
First person to find it had to barter with the hostess about buying it back. It was a fun game to play.
This is what 5 am looks like in the arctic right now. I'm going to have to catch a picture of midnight.
And if you are curious, the Easter Bunny does visit children in the arctic. The bunny left a tutu dress and lots of candy for Georgia. (He also visits older girls too!)
And this is the sledding hill behind Ipalook Elementary school. This hill goes onto the frozen lagoon on the other side. People drive on the lagoon and there is now a cleared road for driving on it. I've seen many boys in their pick up trucks spinning around having fun on it.
So, Christos Anesti Everybody!
