Nathan knows that I like to take pictures of beautiful creeks and waterfalls so during the week he would stop when he would see something on the side of the road so I could take pictures. Here are a few of my favorites…

At the Newark airport we stopped to have dinner at the food court and the kids had McDonald happy meals. They were advertising “How to Train Your Dragon.” The boxes turned into viking hats. Here is my mom modeling one of the hats…

And Timmy….

And now I am caught up with Vermont! :)

We were flying home on Easter but we still wanted the kids to have a regular Easter morning. Here is what was waiting for them when they woke up Easter morning…

Samantha and Jax were the first to come down…

Here are the kids digging into the goodies…

Of coures the Easter bunny stopped by and hid eggs, both inside…

and outside…

They had a lot of fun and in some ways I think they weren’t ready for the vacation to end.

Blake and Katherine noticed a sign for a community Easter egg hunt while they were in town so we took the kids to town the day before leaving. Here is a picture of the Easter bunny starting things off…

After the hunt the kids went inside where they had eggs to color and face painting. Here is the guitar that Drew had painted on his face….

Timmy decided he wanted a fire breathing dragon on his arm…

Samantha and Jax decided they wanted flowers…

Joshua wanted something special so she gave him a chick coming out of an egg…

Next up is Easter morning…

My mom is not the most coordinated person on skis so everytime we have gone skiing she gets private lessons so she can feel more comfortable going down the slope. Here is mom skiing with her instructor…

Joshus decided to crash her lesson…

Timmy tried to follow Joshua but he just crashed….

Here is one more picture of Nathan, playing with both of the boys after Timmy and Josh crashed my mom’s lesson…

That is it for the ski pictures. Next up is an Easter egg hunt at a local playground…

On the third day Nathan decided he wanted to learn to snowboard so he had Timmy teach him. :)

Timmy started Nathan out on the magic carpet slope. Here is Timmy and Nathan riding the magic carpet…

Here is Timmy teaching Nathan what to do before they started down the magic carpet slope….

Before long he had Nathan heading down the beginner slope…

He stayed up mostly but when he fell he ended up looking like he was playing Twister…

Timmy demonstrated how to snowboard and look cool doing it….

I was skiing down the same slope with Samantha and Josh so I took some pictures of their accomplishments as well. Samantha was getting to be so good at that slope that she was going through poles and tagging them as she went…

Joshua just points his skis downhill and goes. He was singing to himself as he skied down the slope…

Timmy was showing Josh how to be cool (Timmy says it was because he was hot and his lift ticket was on his jacket)…

Josh decided to ski down imitating Timmy…

More to come…
