Up in Travers City for Easter

For Easter we went to Travers City, to visit Amy’s Family. We stayed at Amy’s Grandfather’s Farm House in Empire 20 minuets out side of Travers City. The Boys were very excited to stay at their Great grandpa’s, so much so they wanted to bring him home with us to live here.

On Sunday the Easter bunny came and the boys got lots of eggs, their Easter bunnies, and new kites. Rodney said that great grandpa must have a different Easter Bunny then we do. We spent the rest of the day at Amy’s parents home near down town Travers City, and had much fun.

Teaching Rodney and David how to Skateboard

Easter Sunday afternoon Rodney and David wanted to get outside and try out their new skateboards. Since I had a skateboard when I was a teen I went with them to show them how. It was a little cold out and there was snow on the ground (much to this gardeners dismay) but the roads were clean enough to go out. Both boys have much to work on before they can ride them longer but they did ok for their first time. I even showed them a few tricks or two that I could still do. It has been a long time since I was on a skateboard, I think I was 17. It looks like we all need some practice.

Ok boys, you do it like this...


Yep, thats how you do it!!

Happy Bunny Day!

Happy Easter every one! Today we were woken up at 6 am by David finding some eggs and his New Skateboard. Rodney after hearing he had gotten a skateboard too jumped right out of bed. The Easter bunny brought lots of Easter eggs with candies in them. Both boys got new beach buckets full of Jelly bellies, candy, a chocolate and peanut butter bunny, and a jump rope. The other things they got were a lacrosse set and a Sky ball toss set. There favorite by far was their new skateboards. The new skateboards are what both boys have been wanting for a long time.

Making Easter Eggs

On Saturday, April 7, the day before Easter we decorated Easter eggs. Rodney and David each got 3 eggs and Amy and I each got one. Just about all of the eggs got put in numerous colors with some interesting results.
