Easter Vacation

Over Easter, we took a trip down to the great town of DELTA!!!!  If you have never been there, you might consider yourself lucky, but for the few of us who come from there, we might disagree.  Every time I go down those lonely roads, I have a whole bunch of memories come flooding back to my mind.  I could really get started on some reminiscing, but I will leave that to a separate post ;-)

This Easter was really no different that most in the past, the dreaded chore of coloring the eggs, getting disgustingly sick on candy, going to the egg hunt in town, and only coming home with not a lot more than what we went there with, you gotta hit Quality and their grocery give away, only to be slided with that one, paying a quarter for cotton candy that everyone finds absolutely disgusting, each of the kids getting a helium balloon that only causes problems once we get back home, and of course, the horrible, rotten, never good weather that is almost a certain fixture come Easter!!!!

Since we usually go to the sand hills (come hail or high water none-the-less) and roll the easter eggs down the hill and get the ever uncomfortable sand in our eyes, and freeze our little keesters off, and end with a wiener roast, where the main ingredient on our buns is sand, we actually decided to buck that idea (since there was a coating of snow all over when we woke up that morning) and stay in the nice home, protected from the elements, and still have a wiener roast,

just in Mom and Dad's fireplace.  I think we are all converted to this kind of a get up come Easter.  We have been spoiled and now we can never go back to the way things have been for my entire life and longer.

As you can see in the back ground, there was lots of basketball, conference, and of course doing Grandpa's hair just as pretty as possible.

The kids played lots of card games and Back Gammon.

Then, Easter morning, we were able to find our "baskets" and the hidden eggs all over the living room.  However, I do believe we could not find one of the eggs!!!  UH-OH :-(  Grandpa and Grandma are not going to be very pleased in a few more days.  I really hope they will forgive us.

Grandpa made his famous pancakes with an endless plate of bacon and sausage, YUMMY!!!

And, of course, ice cream and whipped cream on the top.

Can I just say, we LOVE going to Grandpa and Grandma's house.  Thanks Mom and Dad for all you do for us.  We sure do love you!!!
