Spring Break, or was it Master's Week?





Nothing says that you are no longer cool like going to your parents house for spring break. Don't get me wrong, the trip was great and we loved seeing everyone. It is just that spring break had a little more pop to it when I could stay up past 10:30. With this personal problem in mind, I will take a page from the US Goverment and redefine the issue, and give it a new name. The power plant did not make a two headed fish...we found an endangered species. See how this works.

Master's Week in Augusta lines up with a week that the kids have off school. This is a great idea and allows the families of the area to get out of town as the world of golf comes to crush the city. Tess played only child at home, while Graham flew up on Sunday and a few days later, the rest of us drove to Liberty, IN for Easter.

During the trip up I was driving up I-75 in Kentucky and without knowing it took another interstate half way to Louisville. This set me back over an hour, and we did not get in until very late.*

*Erik has stalled out in his writing of this blog, so I (Angie)am going to get it finished so we can post. Note: Erik has driven that route a million times...okay well at least 10-15 times. He did know that it split, but must have forgotten. It wasn't that big of a deal that he was within 30 minutes of Louisville before he noticed, we were going to get in late anyway.

Once we arrived, there was much excitement surrounding the Frozen Four College Hockey Championship. Suzanne and Dennis have season tickets to the Miami Redhawk Hockey Games. Graham is naturally a fan. So during the visit we watched two very exciting games.

Graham loved his "alone time" in Indiana. He had Nerf gun battles, enjoyed Pizza from Pizza King, played Wii, worked and played on the farm, and checked out new equipment.

As some of you might remember we still have an old house in Liberty. We spent one day trying to get measurements and order garage doors. This is a project that we are going to finish before the big move this summer. We'll post some before and after pics, once we get the new doors.

Miss Tess especially enjoyed getting to drive her tractor, seeing her cousin Gwen and planning her "alone time" trip to Indiana at the end of May. She is already plannign to help with the baby chicks and pick strawberries.

On Easter Morning we enjoyed Mass at St. Bridget's in Liberty. It is really great to see people in the church again. The Easter Bunny did bring the hat in this picture, but he did not actually wear it to church!



The children were treated to 2 wonderful egg hunts, the weather was great for both. It was really nice to spend time with family. Auntie Kate thought it was the Springtime Christmas and showered the kids with toys. Thank you to everyone that made Easter so special.



I know this ending is not as entertaining as the beginning, perhaps when E gets some free time he'll "spruce" it up and repost?
