Easter Weekend

Friday night we headed out after work and drove north to Huntsville State Park to camp for the night. It was beautiful, towering trees and large campsites and low humidity. We got in about 6:30 pm and set up camp. A cold front dropped in and by 9 am it was about 38 degrees. Erin did really well camping in the cold. She even managed to sneak a s'more to bed with her. In the morning all of her blankets and the floor of our tent was covered with marshmallow.

We got up and it started to drizzle so we packed all of our gear and sat in the cold drizzle for about an hour before deciding to head home. It was a good choice because when we were leaving the park it started to sleet.

Saturday night our ward had its annual Chili cookoff and for once we had perfect chili weather.

Erin's new easter dressSunday morning we got up and Erin found her Easter basket. The Easter bunny brought her a new rubber duck for the tube, a baseball bat and ball, and a rocket kite. She was pretty excited. Kite flying is an Easter tradition in our family. We went to church and then came home and attempted to fly the kite, but it was not ideal kite flying weather.Then we headed to some friends for our holiday "orphan dinner". Most of the couples we hang with are miles from any family so we get together for the holidays. The food was awesome and a good end to the Easter weekend.
