Weekend Recap: Easter in La C

Dearest blog readers,
Has it really been a week since I last posted?! Are any of you still reading?
I know I've been slacking in my blog updates lately. Adam and I started car pooling a few weeks ago, and I'm still getting used to the change in schedule. I promise to do better.

Moving on to the eagerly anticipated EASTER WEEKEND RECAP!

Adam and I both worked half days on Friday, so we were able to get back to La Crescent around 4. It was a beautiful day out, so we took advantage of the wonderful weather and went out on my parent's new pontoon boat. It was so warm I even took my shoes and socks off for a bit.

 It is a thing of beauty. All the loungers are so comfortable. As my dad said, "It's like riding down the river in your living room". I'm eagerly awaiting even nicer weather and many sunny afternoons out on it.

That evening, we had a fried food extravaganza at home. We had cheese curds, french fries, onion rings, dill pickles AND Christine's idea, deep fried double-stuff Oreos. YUM!

On Saturday morning, Adam and my dad did some fishing for a few hours. They couldn't stay out long though as my dad had to go in to work for most of the day. Adam and I did some relaxing at home with pug, and then went and visited my dad at work. We also did a little bit of antique shopping.

For dinner, we all went out to Manny's. Mom and I had the jumbo margaritas which were indeed, quite jumbo. I had the seafood burrito just like last time. It was delicious. Back at home, we played cards and relaxed.

Easter morning we got up early to see what the "Easter bunny" brought us.

I had a hard time finding all 10 of my eggs. As usual. But I actually found my Easter basket

AND Chester's quickly for once.

He was very interested to see what he got!

Chester had a good time playing with the plastic Easter eggs.

"I want to play with them SO bad"

And also barking at them...

 We went to mass and then returned home as mom's side of the family and some of dad's were coming over. It was nice to see everyone, but of course I ate way too much. There were so many good things!

Three different desserts. I tried them all. Of course.

Our little fam

We left around 3:30, and drove back to the cities. We dropped Chester off at Grandma and Grandpa L's, and then went over to join in the festivities with Adam's family.

What a busy yet fun family filled weekend!

I wish I would have taken more photos though... I'll just have to wait until I see my mom again and I can grab some of the ones she took.
