This weekend was Easter. We really had a great time. Corey, Rob, Josh and Gabe got to come down for the weekend. Plus the weather was really nice, so we all spent a lot of time outdoors. The kids played and played. They played on the playground, they skated, they fished, they kayaked. There was a brief moment of non-fun when Josh took an accidental dive into the lake Saturday night...but he recovered very well. He also got two fish, plus Jon and Abby each caught one...not too shabby. Fun was had by all. I'm posting pictures and video of the weekend. Including some lovely video of an egg-war that involved our not-so-cooked hard boiled eggs.

Yesterday we went to Abigail's birthday party. It was a skating party. When we first got there Laurel didn't really want to do anything. But after she got some pizza in her she decided it was time to try skating. We thought she'd be really cautious about it, so we let her try out skating on the carpet. (We never thought she'd get out on the floor) Instead she took daddy by the hand and lead him out there. She had a blast. Here's some video of her after one of her many "falls." (She'd fall on purpose...but they were planned gentle falls. She made daddy lower her to the floor while she pretended to be falling)
The funniest part of the party was after the cake had been eaten in the party room and all the kids had gone back to skating. I stayed behind with Luke to feed him. All of the sudden this little boy, about 3, came up and sat at the table and started eating the leftover cake and pizza and drinking the leftover drinks. He then went from chair to chair drinking and eating what the kids had left. Of course there were no parents in sight. Nice, huh?
