Easter 2008

My family-Sad that Mel was gone~

All of my Grandkids and Pam's granddaughter~

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. I had Friday off, and my parents came from White Salmon and my sister & neice came from Canada. My nephew came from Moscow, Idaho and Jennifer, Steven, Kaeden, Kailer, Tatum & Triniti all came from Ephrata. Then Jared, Tammy & Q came over too. It was just a great time. The kids went to the Easter egg hunt at the New Hope Church and then came back and colored eggs at our house. We did 2 Easter dinners, as Lance couldn't come on Saturday and Mel left early Sunday for Maryland, and couldn't be here for Sunday's.

Jen and I got to bed about 1:15 & I had to get up at 3:30 to take Mel to the Pasco airport. I almost wish I hadn't even went to sleep, as I sure didn't want to get up. It was hard leaving him knowing I wasn't going to get to see him for 3 weeks. At least I know he will have a lot to do there, and he will have time to scope the area out before I go back to visit him. I came back after dropping him off and went back to sleep for awhile.

It was fun to watch the kids with their egg hunt, and then later when all of the kids got over here, Jen, Jared, Steven, Tammy, Lance & Bobbie all went out and hid eggs outside. All of the kids had an egg hunt around the house, & they had a fun time, while they all found a lot of eggs. The kids all got along great, and I loved spending time with them all.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:
