Hey, It Was Easter!!

Easter/Spring Break x 2 was a crazy, long fun filled two weeks of awesome! It began with the Blackwell's coming up to our house for their Spring Break where we did all kinds of fun activities (that I didn't get any pictures of?) including but not limited to; the zoo, build a bear, a jazz game, some good dinners and desserts of course and ...I can't remember what else right now...  Anyway, that was interrupted by just a few "normal" school days and then the kids and I headed down to St. George for Jack's Spring break and Easter!



The kids all got these sweet glasses in their baskets Easter morning along with plenty of treats and other fun little surprises... of which Soph took out and had me photograph one at a time.  The Bunny also brought some silly string...it was a hit and a war broke out almost immediately.

After having some colored eggs (that we colored outside, in the dark, the night before) we headed over to a big family shindig at the park! We had wheel-barrow races, played sharks and minnows and had a pinata that Garrett made so heavy he had to reinforce the whole thing with duct tape...yeah, it was a lot of candy. We wrapped it all up with some lunch and an egg hunt...cause we hadn't pumped the kids full of enough sugar apparently.  I think next year we will try to keep it under 5 candy based activities.
Needless to say it was a good, action packed 2 1/2 weeks.

Oh I almost forgot the best part, before starting our game of Sharks and Minnows Billy jokingly said "shirts and skins, take off your shirts!" To which Sophie obliged and stripped down. It was pretty funny. (there is a small picture of it above, good stuff)
