Easter Weekend

We had such a fun Easter Break.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  We missed some of the family, but enjoyed our time together with the ones that were here. On Thursday we had a surprise visit from my cousin Lea and her family.  Our kids are pretty much the same age, and get along so well together.  I surprised the kids by getting them out of school early to come home and swim with the friends.  They were all so excited, and had a great time swimming, golfing, and playing together.  We ended the night with dinner, and sending them off on there way to Vegas.  We woke up early Saturday to get ready for the Easter Egg hunt.

It was a beautiful spring morning.  No jackets needed.  Preston of course was to big for the hunt, so he helped get Brecken a few eggs.  The girls were done in less then 2 minutes.  Ha Ha.  We then had to go to our neighbors house and get our annual picture taken by there Easter bunny.  We then changed clothes and headed up to Zion's.  It was free National Parks day so we took advantage.  We hiked up to  the Emerald pools.  Can anyone spot Brecken in the family pictures??  He feel asleep in his new hiking backpack and we didn't have anything to shade his head…so Dean's black hat is poking up in the back.  Then had our regular sandwich, and ice-cream, at our favorite place. We made it home in time to swim the afternoon away, and then have our family Easter egg hunt.  No cousins this year, just us.  So it was a little lonely being the only ones.

These pictures show how Breck found the candy, held it, and then tried to attack it.  I think Grandpa finally opened it for him, and gave him a bite…definitely not me.

and of course I had to get a picture of my man.  OH, how I just love him…enough said.
