Easter

We had a very full Easter weekend this past week.  We started with dying eggs on Saturday afternoon, then dinner and a movie with the kids and Susan’s youngest sister and her fiancé. The kids slept in a bit on Sunday (Easter tends to not have the same build up as Christmas), but once they were up, enjoyed searching for the eggs that the bunny had hidden.

Once all of the eggs were accounted for, we began getting everyone ready for our day – rotating through the showers and getting snacks for the kids – before driving up to Menomonee Falls to meet up with our Brother-in-law and his family for brunch at his golf club.This was a great three hour meal with a large buffet and 30 of us in a more-or-less private room away from the main dining area.  The boys were heading back for seconds before I even sat down with my first plate of food.

After brunch we all headed over to our brother-in-law’s father’s house where the kids and their cousins had another Easter egg hunt.  We stayed there for the rest of the day relaxing with a few beers and watching the kids enjoy themselves before finally heading home.

All in all, a full holiday weekend, but not too stressful and no drama.  A good holiday.  I’ve posted some pictures from the day on the Photos page.

Tubing

Yesterday I took the boys north a little ways to meet up with their cousins and do some snow tubing at a small ski hill.  The weather was near perfect, the lines and crowd surprisingly small, and hill fast and fun.  I didn’t take a lot of pictures, but the ones I did take are over on the Photos Page.

We also took along my younger son’s little video recorder which he can mount to his bike helmet.  While I did have the foresight to charge his camera, I forgot to clear off the memory of the other videos he had taken, so the camera was nearly full before we even started.  Here is the one short clip we managed to get before the memory filled.
