2014 Easter Celebration

"Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way...."

Looks like the Easter bunny is headed for the community room!




After our snacks we all headed outside for the Easter egg hunt. We hid over 350 eggs filled with candy & prizes! LOVE watching all the residents hunt for the eggs ;)


Picking out prizes:


Onto the Easter bonnet contest:

3rd Place Winner: Valerie


2nd Place Winner: Dot


1st Place Winner: Bessie


Just for fun ;)

And the VERY BEST PART of the day.....the EGG DROP! Mark & Chad climb to the roof of our 4 story building and drop raw eggs that the residents have carefully packaged in hopes that they won't break!

We had 8 raw eggs, packaged and dropped from the roof. 4 out of the 4 eggs survived the 4 story fall! Congratulations to Alma, Alice, Mark & Chad!! Here's Sue opening the packaged eggs to see if they made it through their fall:


What a fun Easter celebration! Thank you to all who attended and participated! And a HUGE thank you to Sue for all the hard work putting together a very special afternoon!

Travel Day -> Tokelau

CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT TOKELAU
Tokelau' is Polynesian for 'North Wind'.

According to archaeological evidence, the islands were settled about 1000 years ago.

Tokelau has no harbors or ports nor does it have an airport.The best way for tourists and travelers to get to Tokelau is from Apia, Samoa, by ship, which runs every 2 weeks..

Today, more Tokelauans live outside Tokelau than on the islands. About 6,800 live in New Zealand.

According to the Central Intelligence Agency's list of countries by GDP, Tokelau has the smallest economy of any country in the world, with an annual purchasing power of about US $1,000 (€674) per capita.

Most food and drink is shipped to the islands, as little can be grown on these coral atolls.

There is little native fauna on the atolls. Lizards are common. Migratory seabirds visit Tokelau frequently.

The geographic future of Tokelau depends on the height of the ocean. No significant land is more than two metres above high water of ordinary tides. This means Tokelau is particularly vulnerable to any possible sea level rises caused by global warming.

The Luana Liki Hotel in Nukunonu is the only public eating place which is in the only hotel. If you are staying at the Luana Liki, you will get three meals per day included in the price.
Samoan beer is available in shops and at the Luana Like Hotel, but sale is strictly rationed in Nukunonu. The legal drinking age is 18.
The Luana Liki Hotel in Nukunonu is Tokelau's only commercial accommodation. Homestays may be arranged in advanced through the Tokelau-Apia Liaison Office in Samoa.
