Easter weekend and more

We had a GREAT Easter weekend filled with family and relaxation (well, as much as you can get with a 3 mo old)!!! Friday we headed to Hunt to spend time with Caleb's family at a friend's "river" house. Boy, do they have everything you could want or need in a vacation home..no exaggerating!!! The list included a pool with hot tub, mopeds, playhouse, trampoline, sandbox, toys inside and out and one big 'ole porch atop a hill for relaxing and taking it all in. It was so much fun to all be together, especially with Carrys now here!!!

Colten is no doubt part fish. He spent hours in the pool, picking up right where he left off last summer. I was SO impressed at how his swimming skills came right back the instant he hit the water. He would slide and dive and swim to the side then swim half the length of the pool. He had a blast!!!


He then asked Caleb to watch, so Caleb grabbed the camera expecting a big jump or dive into the water. Colten backed up ran to the edge stopped and did a front flip into the water. It was awesome!!! He then did it over and over and mastered it. One of Colten's best traits, he learns a skill, then works until he masters it...well, most of the time!!! :)


Aunt Lindsay and the BIG kids...



a little down time and "Angry Birds" playing for the boys


We also got to help Chance celebrate his 5th birthday


Happy Birthday Chance...such an awesome cousin!!!


We love birthday celebrations, especially when there's cake!!!


There is also a close dam, in which the locals slide down, so we made our way to see the event first-hand.



And with a short lesson, the boys decided to try it themselves...Colten sliding down



Caleb's turn



Saturday evening we packed up and headed to Llano for Easter morning. We spent the day with my family, complete with church, a wonderful lunch, time with family and an Easter egg hunt.
