Family Fun

We had a really fun weekend visit last week when Tyler's sister, Michelle, and family came for Easter weekend. There was lots of opportunity for cousins to play, adults to hang out, and adventures to be had. We even took the opportunity to kick Tyler's butt at Blokus (an event worth documenting, since he rarely loses). A few shots from the weekend follow:



We kicked off the weekend with a celebration for Talon, who had his 13th birthday at our house (lucky dog)!




After a trip to the dentist for the Jackmans and a day at work for Tyler, we headed over to the farm for a "local" field trip. In downtown Littleton is a cool, free museum with a working farm. Since we'd had a lot of cold weather, the children were more than happy to get outside and run around.





(We were very entertained by the sheep. Have I never heard them before? I must have. But I don't remember, and this weekend it struck me as very funny.)







We had an egg hunt with a bunch of friends (and even MORE children) on the Saturday morning of Easter.


You've seen plenty of egg hunt pictures lately - but have you seen this look of concentration, the "get in the zone" face as Liza preps for the race? Sweet shot, Tory!

We then had a nice day in Evergreen with a walk around the lake and a trip to the bakery for the closest thing to world's best donut since The Donut Man (CLOSE, but no cigar).

The ONLY downside to the trip was that here in sunny Colorado, with our 300+ days of sun each year, Michelle and fam show up for 3 of our non-sunny days. Seriously, the morning they left town, the sun came out. Better luck next time!
