Happy Easter.....A Few Days Late

Do you ever get side tracked? Hmmm....well, I think along with procrastination, it should be my middle name. I have been meaning to post all of this for a week now and have yet to do it. So here goes. We had an enjoyable weekend. Kyle was planning to go to Little Sahara Sand Dunes for Easter weekend with some of the guys he works with. When one of them backed out, I decided I would go and Kyle talked Dusty and Amanda into accompaning us also. So we planned a little overnight road trip. Libbi opted to go to Grandma Cynthia and "Crock-a-molie's" house. A HUGE thank you to them for letting Libbi spend the weekend with them. I was in need of a little R&R and I got it. Here are a few moments from our weekend.

I learned to drive with a trailer....even if it was a small and light one. We drove to the sand dunes and found a little corner of the world to park and camp in the rain at the base of Sand Mountain. Of Course, we left right after Kyle got off work. We only had one small mechanical problem. The truck had been riding really rough all day and when we were about to hook the trailer up, Kyle looked under and found that the back drive line (this means nothing to me) was about to come undone, which would have been bad for us. They fixed it and we were on our way! Lucky for us, it only rained lightly and then cleared up. I didn't do a very good job packing for our trip, since I left the hamburgers for dinner at home in the freezer and we had no firewood for a fire. Good thing we found nice people who gave us some firewood. Thanks a million! On Sunday, Kyle stayed in bed until almost 8:30 before he was up and ready to ride his motorcycle. It was a beautiful day! Big fluffy white clouds on a perfect blue sky and warm enough in the sun to be comfortable. Here are some pictures of both Kyle and Dusty riding: Kyle waiting at the bottom of Sand Mountain for somebody to race This was Dusty's first time jumping Dusty's second time jumping: And thanks to Kyle's long arms, a picture of the 4 of us: And a new, but not the greatest picture of us: Since Libbi was spending the weekend with Grandma, I met them Saturday afternoon so she could go to the annual "Ditch Picnic" with my Dad's cousins. She said she had fun. She got to die easter eggs with Grandma Saturday night and go to sunbeams on Sunday morning. After church, she came home to find the Easter Bunny had filled her basket with plenty of suprises: After opening many suprises from the East Bunny, it was off to Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Parrish's for dinner and an egg hunt. The beginning of the hunt: The end of the hunt.....She must have found them all. That was the enjoyment of our Easter weekend. I'm going to try to post some video of Kyle on his bike, but I haven't seemed to grasp how to do that just yet. I hope you enjoyed the pictures and that you all had a Happy Easter!
