En abril nos fuimos a pasar las Pascuas a Minnesota donde la familia de Jason. El papa de Jason celebra el Domingo de Paascua con una busqueda de huevos donde todos los ninos de la familia y algunos vecinos participan. Fue la primera busqueda de huevos de los enanos y se divirtieron mucho. La casa es adornada con motivos Pascuales, es como si fuera navidad pero en Pascua :)
Minnesota nos recibio con mucho frio y hasta con nieve. Sebastian andaba fascinado con la nieve, cantando villancicos (el pobre andaba muy confundido con el tema de la nieve y la navidad :)).
Auggie hizo muy buenas migas con su primo Eli. Jugaron mucho y muy bien. Mientras Eli fue su companero de juegos, su primo Milo fue su heroe. Se reia de todo lo que Milo hacia y era muy tierno verlo como seguia a Milo con admiracion.
El museo de ciencias y el museo de los ninos tenian exhibiciones sobre Dinosaurios. Asi que no tuvimos mas remedio, que visitar esos museos :) para que los enanos vieran fosiles y jugaran un rato con uno des temas favoritos de juegos.
Visitamos una libreria que tenia animales (gallinas de seda, ferrets, una tarantula, gatos, pajaros). Muy simpatico el lugar: http://www.wildrumpusbooks.com/
Pasamos un dia muy simpatico en la casa de la tia Mary con su familia y Nana.
Los chicos disfrutaron muchisimo de sus abuelos, de sus tios y sus primos. Me encanta verlos compartir con la familia y recibir tanto carino de todos lados. En nuestras conversas siempre salen Grandma Grace, and Grandpa and John and Catherine and Tia Miria y sus primos. Me llena de mucha alegria que puedan sentir la conexion con su familia (Sebas le llama su familia grande). Ahora nos tocara ir a Peru para que refresquen su conexion con el lado materno :)

In April we spent Easter in Minnesota with Jason's family. Jason's dad celebrates Easter with an egg hunt where all the children in the family and some neighbors participate. This was the first egg hunt for the kids and they had a lot of fun. The house is decorated with Easter motives. It is like Christmas but in Easter :)
Minnesota received us with cold weather and snow.Sebastian was fascinated with the snow and was singing Christmas songs (the poor guy was very confused with the relation between snow and Christmas).
Auggie got along really well with his cousin Eli. They played a lot and very well. While Eli was his play mate, his cousin Milo was kind of his hero. Auggie laughed at Milo's jokes and it was sweet to see my little monkey's display of admiration to his cousin.
The Science Museum and the Children's Museum had exhibition about dinosaurs. We did not have an option but to go and check the museums :), so that the kids could see the fossils and play with one of their favorites play themes.
We went to a book store that has life animals in its premises (silky chickens, ferrets, a tarantula, cats, birds, etc) The place was very nice and the kids had a good time. http://www.wildrumpusbooks.com/
We also spent a nice day with Tia Mary, her family and Nana.
The kids enjoyed being with their Grandma, Grandpa, John and Catherine, their cousins and aunts and uncles. I really cherish to see them sharing with their extended family and to receive so much love from everybody. Now that we are back, they always talk about their Grandma Grace, and Grandpa and John and Catherine and Tia Miria y sus primos (Sebas calls it, his big family). I am very happy that they can feel the connection with their family. Now, we need to go to Peru to refresh the maternal side connection :)
