Summer is on its way...


Ryan and I had a good Easter weekend. We went to Horseshoe Bay on Good Friday to see the kites. People make intricate kites out of tissue paper. There was of course the typical plastic kites as well. The weather was beautiful, but there wasn't much of a breeze, so it was difficult to get the kites real high. The beach was busy and it was fun to see so many people out. The posted picture is from the beach on Friday.


I found out that it is a Good Friday tradition to eat Hot Cross Buns. I guess I thought Hot Cross Buns was a song I used to play on my recorder during elementary school. Anyone else remember the song? Anyways, people eat these buns with fish cakes. It seems weird because Hot Cross Buns have raisins or currants and sometimes icing. Sweet buns with fish doesn't seem like a great combo. Ryan decided to relate it to putting meat in jello. You just don't do it!


Limerick officially has the darkest suntan of the family. She has been laying outside almost every day and loves laying directly in the sun. Her belly is now brown and tan. We decided to google this to see if it was truly a suntan, and an interesting yahoo post came up. It recommended that we use dog sunscreen. I am not sold on that yet.


Tourist season is fast approaching Bermuda. There was a cruise ship in the bay over the weekend. It was neat to see such a huge ship so close to town. The resorts and restaurants are also starting to open up their outdoor seating on the beaches. It will be just as much fun for us as it will for the tourists to see what Bermuda is like in full tourism season. Summer will be fun.


Until next time...
