It's nice to say "Foo Foo"

We celebrated Easter in Holdrege this year with Bill's and Steph's families.  

We started our Easter fun with the Easter Egg Hunt at mom & dad's church.  Sam and Anna were in one group. 

Sam found one egg and was satisfied to sit and play with it. 

Jack had fun with my friend Jami's little boy Caden. 

He also helped out Sam and gave him a few eggs. 

The kids had fun dying eggs and there were no dye-sasters or close calls.

Laura looked like the dancer she is.  She even gave us a preview of one of her routines and performed an audition piece for us too. (She got the part!)

We had a big barbeque dinner Saturday night and were joined by the Osborn's and by the Lyon's. 

 As usual, the food was delicious. 

The boys had fun finding their eggs in the morning. 

Jack got a bike for Easter too, so he was busy learning how to ride up and down driveway bumps. 

He enjoyed more candy at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Jack had a special egg hunt at the "berry farm". 

Sam and I walked down to the farm where he enjoyed a ride on Grandpa's new tractor. 

I enjoyed driving the tractor home. 

Aunt Melba brought an activity for Jack.

The kids enjoyed one last hunt in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard. 

*** note about the title of the post*** Once upon a time, when Laura and Natalie were little and Caitie didn't even exist, I was singing "Little Bunny Foo-Foo" to Laura in the car.  Natalie yelled out (in her cutest Natalie voice) "Aunt Abby, it's not nice to say "Poo Poo"!!

Camping in March

 

This is one year that we are definitely going to remember for the weather.  Not for bad weather but for the beautiful mild winter and seemingly endless spring/summer.  It was in the 80's and 90's for two weekends in March and we took full advantage of that by trying out our new camper.  

Both times we camped at Branched Oak lake, expanding our excursions as we get the hang of the camper and what all we need to bring/buy to fully enjoy it. 

Something that helped us thoroughly enjoy the camping were the visitors. 

Rod and Phyllis came down and had lunch with us one weekend.

Jack showed them just how good he is at the monkey bars.  He could go back and forth all day if we let him. 

Sam has really enjoyed exploring the camper as I work on getting things situated and used to how things will go.

One of our afternoons Jack and I went fishing.  He rode his scooter down to the lake from the camper and refused to take off his helmet, I think it must have scared the fish because we didn't catch any. 

We also had a fun evening visit from Steph, Scott, and Cori!!

Sam really loved the breakfast of "camper cakes" and scrambled eggs.

I had originally said I wanted to get the boys pictures at every campsite we stay at...

... getting a good picture of both of them by the sign is proving to be harder than I originally thought.
