Easter Weekend


We had a busy weekend with the girls and Easter. Saturday we went to Ucon to visit Steve and Christie and take the kids to the Ucon Easter egg hunt. Tons of people and very well organized. Think we BBQ'd some Rib Eyes and shrimp that night. The weather was great until Easter morning where it turned breezy, chilly, and some rain here and there... not much though. Amber and I put on our head lamps and hid eggs outside Saturday night in the backyard.

The girls had a blast finding the eggs in the backyard, of course fighting off and on :) Then we went to breakfast with Teresa and Joe, Seth and Jessica and our family. After that we were off to Steve and Christies to take the girls back to Ucon for their annual easter egg hunt. Of course we all had a great time. They do such a great job of making sure all the kids have so much fun.

Got back and just chilled out. We got some Sushi and ate dinner and relaxed, played and goofed off until the girls bed time. After that, we watched a little Battlestar Galactica and fell asleep...

Ucon Easter Egg Hunt

We went up to the Steve and Christies in Ucon for the Ucon Easter egg hunt. Beautiful day, it started at 1000 hours. We walked down to the school from Steve's and there were clear blue skies. There must have been a 1000 kids at the school. But everyone was lined up and very nicely organized. It was similar to herding cattle. Or, as in the Navy... nut to butt! Only the veterans will get that one :)

The girls had a blast, all of them filling their Easter egg baskets with candy, sugar and more sh*t they really don't need to be eating. I think Mia has been eating candy behind our back all day. She has been getting sneaky at that. But, she has also been doing great asking us before she eats.

A nice weather weekend

A nice weekend and week of weather we've had. Its reached 70 a few days this week and the girls were able to get out and play outside, all day...till dark. The turtle was out and about in the front yard, we made a fence for it so it won't get away. The kids enjoy picking dandelions for the turtle, her favorite food.

Graycie was able to use her new Rollerblades. She loves them and is really getting good on them in such a short time. We had to tell her no more rollerblading for a few days because she had them on so much the last few days that her legs are swore.

The wind was blowing pretty good for a couple days and the kids wanted to get out the kite. We walked down to the school and were able to get the kites pretty high in the sky. The girls walked down with their neighbor friends Gretta and Mandy. Both girls did great and Pinot had a blast chasing them around.
