Easter Weekend/Spring break

I had a very short spring break this year, consisting of just one day, Good Friday, so Chuck and I took advantage of the my big day off and went to Macy's flower show in downtown Minneapolis.

We ran into some friends of Jenna's, so Anna took a picture of us in the middle of all the beautiful spring flowers.

The colors were gorgeous.

And the smell was very sweet.

Made me want to go home and start planting!
Still too early in Minesota, though.

Our next stop was the new Twins stadium , Target Field.

There was a pre-season game in progress, so there were lots of people out and about.

We'll have to go back another time when we have tickets for a game.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get Chuck to go to at least one game this year. If not, I'll be going with our kids - they have all become committed Twins fans.
Easter Sunday was warm and sunny - a perfect day to be outside! Everyone came to our house for a delicious ham dinner (I ran home after the first two services to make the glaze and throw the ham in the oven, then went back church to play for one m0re service - busy morning!)

Turn sideways, Jenna!

Chuck and Paul showed up in the same outfit.
Their hair is opposite though - ha!
Joyce brought some fun toys for Maddox and Matthew.

We had an Easter egg hunt for them in the backyard. Maddox had to find the plain ones, and Matthew went for the polka-dots.

Are there more??
Keep looking!

Eggs in the wood pile.


Eggs under the bushes. Ahh, there's a polka-dot one!

After all the eggs were found, this big rock became much more interesting.

Let's jump!

Both boys became super heroes with their dish towel capes (I think I have the same picture of Kyle and Corey - some things never change!).
Thanks, everyone, for helping us celebrate! The food was good, and the company even better!
