Weekend after Easter

Just a nice mellow weekend. We really didn't do anything since we were so busy last week with all the Easter stuff and egg hunts going on. After work Friday we drove out past Osgood to see Unc, Jessica, and Steve. They were fishing on the Snake and we took the guns and poles out to the river in pure hillbilly fashion.

We saw a beaver and quite a few geese and ducks. The girls brought their new binoculars and were checking out the 3 bald eagles hanging out in the area. One of them being just as big as the kids. The dogs had fun and we ate pizza till just before sunset.

Frank went with Graycie on Friday to school for Donuts with Daddy. It was the same as last year, 100's of dads lined up with their kids waiting to eat crusty donuts. We sat with her friend, our neighbors while we chatted and ate and ate and ate. In a few weeks Amber will be doing the same, going to eat breakfast with Graycie at school. But, that is called "muffins with mommy".

Did mostly yard work on Saturday, the weather was great! Frank was able to get on the Snake with Dave to do a short float. We launched from Dave's backyard, put the kayaks in the River and took off. It was the first float of the year and I found I had two small holes I could hear hissing... as we were already floating down.

I briefly thought mid evil thoughts about the cats back home, I'm sure the holes were due to them. We got off on an island to chill out and have a little safety meeting, had to patch the holes with some crusty duck tape.

Sunday is pretty gloomy weather. About 55 outside, a little breeze and a lot chillier than yesterday's 70 degrees. We BBQ'd some nice steaks and chilled the rest of the night. Olivia has turned into quite the hunting. We've started letting her outside the last few weeks and she's brought us two birds so far!
