Happy Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We went down to San Antonio for the weekend and had the chance to visit with some of my cousin’s who I had not seen in a very long time. Grandpa Libby is not doing too well, so extra people came in to see him and spend some quality time with the family. The kids had so much fun. Isabelle played soccer with grandpa Don, and had a great time trying to get the ball in the goal. She kept telling him to get out of the way, it was funny.






We even went to the Texas Transportation Museum, mostly for the trains. They did have some old cars there, and a few old fire engines but Bear really liked the trains. They have a model train set in the back and Bear got to direct the horn and make sure he told the gentleman when the train was clear so they could switch tracks. He thought that was pretty cool. Our tickets included a very short jaunt up the railroad track on the train. We rode in the caboose. I think everyone thought that was great, even though it was pretty short.



Of course we did the traditional Easter egg hunt. The kids hunted for eggs inside the house and outside. Right before we left for church it was pouring down rain, and then we had a beautiful day. Alexis, Brittany, Isabelle and Bear all had fun looking for eggs and each kid came in with a pretty big haul. Both Alex and Brittany had to empty their baskets and go look for more.



And of course since the sun was actually out, the kids had to swim. Even though none of the adults went in the water unless they had too, the kids were all over getting in and swimming around. I knew we could hardly keep them away. Bear had some fun learning to stay close to the steps. I have not been able to find him a floaty swimsuit like last year, so I think he will just have to learn this year how to swim. I see swim lessons in the near future.



Overall it was a great weekend. We all got a chance to sit around a visit, work on our poker game and just catch up. It was great. Adam went out with his cousins and uncle to play pool, and had wonderful time. The rest of us old folk stayed at home to watch babies and play cards. Grandpa Libby did great while we were all there and told wonderful stories, which everyone will remember for years to come. I hope we can all get together again soon, I miss having all of the family around.


Happy Easter!
