Easter Weekend

It's been our tradition to spend Easter Saturday with Corey's family whenever we can. This year we were able to go with them again and we always have a great time. 

We headed to St. George on Friday. Corey and his brothers had arranged to surprise their dad for his birthday and take him golfing. I dropped him off at the golf course then took the kids back to our hotel to swim. Then we picked up pizza factory for dinner. The kids insist on their bread sticks whenever we go to St. George.

The next morning we all met up to take some family pictures. Les and MaryAnn are leaving on a mission to Omaha, Nebraska at the end of the month and we wanted to make sure we had some pictures of all us together. 

I put my camera on the tripod, set the timer and made Corey do the running back and forth. We hoped for the best. It's always a little crazy trying to get a picture with so many of us. There was only one melt down too, I consider that success.

Then we headed to the park to picnic and spend the day together. 

The kids were in heaven and played so hard together with their cousins. MaryAnn even had a little Easter egg hunt for the smaller kids. Well, we mostly threw a bunch of candy out all over the park and let them go crazy. Fun was had by all.

(we still consider Brendan young enough to hunt for eggs and candy.)

We all left tired and a little sunburned, but we loved the company and love our traditions together.
