Day 5

Today we all met for breakfast at 7:00. Unlike yesterday's "squeaky cheese" we were actually able to consume the food this morning. It was scrambleded eggs, bacon, and tortillas. Seeing as it was Easter the girls all wore dresses and we went to a golf course in La Ceiba to hide Easter Eggs for the kids to find. The Golf Course was pretty dirty, but in the end the kids still had a blast anyways. They were allowed to gather five eggs each but a lot of them ended up with six or seven that we had to redistribute. It is almost like the kids have a survivor-like mentality. With all the food we give them on the trip they take as much as they can and then save it for later. Anyways, eventually a soccer game ended up developing on the golf course. Within maybe five minutes Nate was covered in mud after an attempted slide tackle that also splashec onto Harper on the process. There were several attempts made by Nate later in the game to throw Brian into the mud, but they were only somewhat sucessful Regardless, Nate, Harper, and Brian were put on the top of the bus while leaving and drove to the end f the parking lot on the bus. After the Easter Egg Hunt everyone had two hours to themselves at the hotel. In this two hours there was lots of napping, some shopping (mostly in search of hondruas muscle tees and "cuchillos" ) and Chloe even did homework! We all then left at 11:15 for lunch at "El Guapos" where we met "El Guapo" himself. A more perfect stereotype may have never existed. He was American who owned the restaurant and was complete with a cigar and a shirt with a perfect depiction of his face on it. Needless to say, photos were taken. From El Guapos we took off to the Honduras Canopy Zip Lining tour. Unfortunately, Danny didn't participate in the zip lining because his shoulder was bothering him., but everyone else was able to witness the beautiful ocean views as we took 18 zip lines over the jungle canopy and natural hot springs. After finishing up with that adventure we were able to enjoy the beautiful and calming natural hot springs. There were several pools with different temperatures and water falls. We enjoyed complimentary fruit and mud baths. Jack was especially fortunate. Whereas as everyone else was lathered in mud by the male employee, Jack was covered in mud by the girls on the trip. There were some especially amusing pictures taken to prove this actually happened. We then took off to eat at Helen's Resturant by the ocean where we were able to enjoy yet another wonderful Honduran meal. Now everyone is back at the hotel and very tired. We will probably all be in bed soon. We will write again tomorrow!
