Easter Weekend 2015

What an amazing weekend.  The weather was perfect and there was so much fun family time.  On Saturday we went to Waterton Canyon.  All in all the mild hike was just over 8 miles.  I could not believe the boys did so well.  Of course when we had about a mile left, the complaining started….ha ha

We saw so many deer and big horned sheep.  The boys loved it.  They were hoping to see a snake and other animals, but these were just fine.  There were people fishing in the river and the boys would watch for a few.  Of course there were snack and potty breaks along the way.  We ate lunch at Lion’s Den and played in the grass for a little and then started our way back down.  At about the 2 mile mark from the car, we stopped at a lake area.  The younger boys stripped to their boxer briefs and played in the water, sand/dirt and with the rocks while the big boys skipped rocks. 

We were there from about 8:45am to 3pm.  The sun was shining and there was a cool breeze keeping the weather absolutely perfect the whole day.

The drive home, my boys fell asleep in the car.  That was very nice.  Then I showered them then me.  We grabbed a few things and then off to dye eggs with friends and family.  The boys had so much fun.  We had a wonderful BBQ dinner and just enjoyed our company.  A perfect Saturday in my opinion!

Easter the boys woke up, they found their eggs.  We had some oatmeal and just did normal weekend stuff for a bit.  The boys watched a show while I got some cleaning and laundry done. 

The boy’s dad arrived in town on Sunday as he had court on Monday.  So, I took the boys over to their Memaw’s house where they were able to spend a few hours with their father.  I was there the whole time as I was just not OK leaving them alone with him.  The boys have not seen their dad since he moved back to California at the end of February.  So, it was nice they got to see him even if he did not come out to visit his boys.

All in all, Easter Weekend 2015 goes down in the books as an awesome weekend.  We have not had those in a long time and I plan to do things like this much more often.
