Easter 2013

We spent our Easter weekend in Virginia at Mimsey and Gramp's house. Aunt Lindsay, Uncle John and cousin Natalie met us there - making for a fun weekend! The kids had a blast at brunch, the biggest egg hunt they've ever seen, taking rides in the golf cart, feeding the fish, and playing and being silly, helping surprise Mimsey on her birthday, and building sand castles on the beach. The only part of the weekend that wasn't a hit was our picture with the Easter Bunny. The kids weren't too sure about that bunny!

Elliot was really focused on fining a golden egg. Maybe he'll find it next year.

Great Falls Park, Virginia

Despite being a mild winter, in terms of snow fall, the weather has been cold enough to keep us mostly indoors. So when we had a very mild and sunny day in late February we decided to visit nearby Great Falls Park. I grew up near this park and have many memories of visits to the falls. The kids had a great time exploring the trails and looking at the falls. They especially liked watching the kayakers taking on the rapids. We can't wait to go back when it gets warmer.
