Happy Easter!

Easter weekend 2012 was a fun one!  Maxwell hadn't ridden his bike much since camping a few weeks ago, so he was a little reluctant to get back to it.  We decided to find a place that wasn't hilly or concrete to make his attempts safer and easier.  A local unoccupied baseball field was the perfect location.  After one minor fall he seemed to have gotten it and was riding around the infield with a proud smile on his face.  Then it was on to the UNLV Rebels baseball game.  A perfect day for baseball, sunny and calm.  The Rebels didn't do so hot, but the kids got to visit with the Easter Bunny and Annabel got her face painted.  We did get a foul ball, but not the usual way.  It rolled right in front of us on the way to the bathroom.  After the game our afternoon at home was filled with numerous Easter egg hunts in the house and courtyard.  Great fun for the kids!  Easter morning was an early one, I think they woke us about 6am.  Ugh!  But they were so excited we couldn't get them back to bed so it was time to find the baskets of toys and candy.  Always fun to see kids eat jelly beans and chocolate before breakfast.  After more bike riding, an Easter egg hunt at the neighbors and a nice ham dinner the night ended with a swim in the hot tub.  A great weekend for all.
