G’n'R Out West

We had a fun filled Easter Sunday.  For the record…yes…Adelle did get candy!  I thought about not giving her any, but Greg felt very strongly about the Easter candy, so she got some.

I got up early this morning to bake a lemon meringue pie (for us to have for dessert tonight).  Then after Adelle had had a few unwholesome treats we headed off for church.  We came back (Adelle consumed some more candy) and then we took off for a hike in the mountains.  The terrain is fairly well packed so we opted to walk (not snowshoe).  We bought these neat do-hickey’s that you can slip onto the bottom of your shoes that are super grippy so it was very safe for walking on the ice and snow. 

We had a fabulous hike and then went into town for some traditional Easter Sunday pizza.  It is this great little restaurant with wood fired flatbread that has a really fun kids play area.  Adelle had a real blast there.  And now we are all home and all tired and eating pie.

Here is a shot of us in our alpine meadow just before the lake.  You can tell the depth of the snow from this shot, since I am guessing that ’no camping’ sign post is normally about shoulder high.

Adelle and Greg are all ready for the sring and biking season. I think we are going to go check out what bike options there are for Adelle, not sure if she is a bit too young or not.  All we know is she is facinated by them, so it might be fun to get her one.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY
