ohhh so a little about easter, on friday and saturday i was with a rotarian on Lake Thun. He was helping organize a sailing commpetition. He needed my help so i went with him. our job was to set the buoyies in the lake. it was lots of fun. friday we didnt sail bc the weather was really bad and stormy. however saturday morning, the weather was awesome for sailing. the sun was out and you could see the mountains. absolutely GORGEOUS and BREATHTAKING!!!

then on sunday, was easter!!! we had brunch with another small family. they had 3 kids. in the garden, there were boiled eggs and chocolate bunnies hidden. the kids had to find all of them before we could have brunch. they found everything and then we had brunch. it was delicious. bread and all kinds of goodies. the hard boiled eggs are colored and then they play a game where you hit the other persons egg and the person whose egg cracks loses...once both ends of your eggs are cracked you are allowed to eat your egg. its lots of fun!! ahh..and my host brother niko made the BEST hot chocolate ever!!! ahhh!!!
