While Mom is away Dad & Kids will Play - Round II

Two weekends in a row I may a bit of an adventurous day trip! 
This time I got to spend the day with one of my favorite gals - Jessalyn!

Ready or not here we go!

 A chilly (and refreshing!) finish!

Found one more in the area to catch up with : ) 

And what was Gabe and the kiddos up to?

You guessed it! 


Round II was a little more successful!



I'm thinking they are going to want me going away more often!

While Mom is Away Dad and Kids will Play


It was the beautiful day to slip away and see family for a few hours. Especially when it is these two girls!!

Happy Graduation Day, Kate!

Have you ever seen a more sophisticated young lady ready to take on the world?

Proud siblings! 

Even prouder Mom and Grandma!

All the while...
Daddy takes the kids FISHING!

One HAPPY little boy!

And a very HAPPY Dad even if they did get skunked!

Easter Part II

Part II

Me: Henry, what was your favorite part of being in Wisconsin?
Henry: Chores with Grandpa.  


He literally tried to follow in his every footstep! 



It wasn't all just fun he had to do a little work too! 

Took him awhile but he got a decent amount of the hay stack moved!



Aunt Keilah eventually came out too but all she did was hold cats ; ) 

I got in on my old job of holding cow tails although I think the photos turned out better when I was in a dress and jelly shoes!

Time to see if I can still scrape the walk : )

Henry wasn't impressed...

Thanks Nolan for helping him clean up!
 
Meanwhile Celie was busy with her favorite toy - the timer!
 

Books before bed 

Finally time to wake up and look for Easter baskets.

Getting warm Henry!

Nope, not in there Uncle Bill.

Look again buddy!

Success!

Easter Bunny goodies!

Celie did pretty good too : ) 

Henry helping out Grandpa and Grandma.


Time to dress up and look sharp for Easter church.

Another family that cleans up good!


They found their names at the kiddie table : )

Tummies are full time to unwind!


Last up, an Easter egg hunt in the windiest conditions ever!



It was a wonderful Easter and we had one sleeping boy before we even hit the interstate : ) 

*Yikes, working on my photo quality I've just noticed I need to take more Celie shots! Poor #2 already so neglected : (

Easter

{*Long post ahead with low quality photos. I've been experimenting with my camera and just couldn't quite get it right this time around.}

One of the favorite things to do at the Powers farm for Easter is color Easter Eggs.
Liam waiting patiently!

Celie checking things out.

Before

Could anyone look cuter!?!

Finally, getting started!

Yay - the box!

Action shots!




Patiently waiting!!

 It's done!!

First one done and he is hooked!

Some very serious decorating going on in the Powers house!

First time with the plastic wrap around!

It's coming together!

Grandma's egg for the win!

 Still at it...

Nailed it!

After

After eggs it was time to get outside for a little fun. 

Come back, Nolan!

Let's get him!

Squeeze in!

Quick smile and they are off!

Sort of...



Teamwork!

Taking turns like pros!



Finally getting a real ride!

Lydia with Max & Ruby (Did I get that right?)

Henry LOVED Max and Ruby!

Loved them so much he couldn't stop kissing and hugging them...

Celie didn't think they were too bad either.

Our little worm catcher : )

and trike bike rider

Celie Dee enjoyed some time outside too.
