The pictures are a little out of order, but we started off at Tyler and Hye-won's house. We got in kind of late, so just enough time for a yummy dinner and then we put the children to bed. That night we played a game called Sheriff of Notingham which I thought was kind of fun. Basically you have to try to trick people into thinking you have certain cards and you try to catch others in their lies. A lot like the card game Cheat, but a little more complex and I think funner. The next morning we went to the park and then for a visit to BYU. We came back for a fire-pit lunch of hot dogs and smores.
We then went over to Nathanael and Mary-Anne's house. We did dinner at the park that night and had fun on the toys there as well as tossing around the football. Rebecca and I stopped off at the store on the way home. We switched cars with my parents so they could bring the children home, so all of our maps went with them in our van. After the store we ended up getting lost in their neighborhood for 30 minutes! We just couldn't remember the street names and we entered the neighborhood a different way then what we usually do.
The next day we got to celebrate Easter with them, my parents, and Mary-Anne's parents and siblings. It was stake conference for them, so Nathanael ended up blessing their baby at home. it was neat to do it that way. Then we had the Easter Egg hunt. The children went first and I think they all got pretty spoiled with candy. Then the adults had their hunt. We each could find four eggs. Surprisingly, all of the hard ones were found without too much problem and it was some of the ones in plain sight that lasted the longest. Mary-Anne's parents brought mystery prizes for some of the adult eggs. We got three of those special ones and ended up getting Jamba Juice, Target, and Cold Stone gift cards! That was very nice of them. We had a delicious Easter dinner and then hit the road for home.
It is always hard going home on a Sunday night after a fun weekend away and thinking about going back to work and school on Monday. Fortunately, I only had two weeks left until summer break and so that made going back on Monday a little easier.
Nathanael giving all of the children rides on his motorcycle. Yes, even Agnes got one! Agnes, Elliott, and Christian got to ride in the front, and Julia and Ethan had to hold on from behind. You can see his neighbors working on their rocks. I was jealous of how much progress they made while we were there.
Playing with Cosmo at the BYU bookstore. We were hoping to catch their General Conference art sale, but we were too late and they didn't have any great deals. We still have so much more decorating to do at our house.
Smelling the flowers at the park. Spring was way farther along there than back in Pocatello.
This four person teeter-totter was fun. Our kids found a friend and made it a six person one though.
I thought this swing was great. I did it for a while with Agnes and then Julia took over. It has a spot for a child and one for a parent and then you both swing together.
My kids love these giant swings. It is always a little scary when the get vertical upside down, but no one has fallen off yet.
The zipline at this park was fun too.
Playing 500.
The hunt.
A Sunday walk while the eggs were being hidden.
