A weekend of fun was had by all...I usually try to make things chronological, but for some reason decided that the weekend kind of was crazy, so this blog will be nuts too! (Just for reference, we go Saturday, Sunday, Friday)!
So Saturday morning...we (Rich, Denise, Chris, Brianna and I) got up early and decided to head up to the tulip fields and enjoy the beautiful sunshiny day! It would be Chukar's 1st trip in the back of the truck, Brianna and Chris' first trip to the tulip fields and a great time for all of us to spend together....
Here is Chukar getting ready to go in the kennel in the back of the new truck.
I would love to say that we were the only people who had this idea for Saturday...but it was apparent that LOTS of people were going to do this when it took us about 3 hours to get where it would normally only take a little over an hour. Good news is...we got some naps, some quality family time, and well, some interesting characters on the freeway!
IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT....look at these beautiful TULIPS!
Denise with her sons!
Richie and I (must say that our pictures from years past were a little better)...
And finally, Denise with her "daughters"...or at least the ladies in her sons' lives!
After the tulip fields, we headed into LaConner to shop, look around and each some lunch!
Yes, and I even road in the back with Chukar for a bit...trying to be a red-neck, I guess! We have a truck now, right?!?!
Saturday night...we got home and decided to enjoy the sunny evening and have an impromptu BBQ (the 1st of many this year)...with my parents and the tulip field gang! Great burgers, dogs and snacks...I even whipped up a Chocolate Rum Cake!
Sunday came fast and it was time for Easter afternoon at our house...
Here is Avea, my mom and grandma!
Time for some Easter baskets for Avea and Rene!
Such a cute couple...I couldn't resist!
My man with Rene and Avea with Grandma, Fereti and my dad looking on!
A little group shout out from the living room - Aunt Roxy, Krista, RJ, Uncle Roger and Aunt Cindy!
Next up, the MOMS...Mama Boness and Mama Meyer (someday to Grandma Boness and Grandma Meyer)...
Richie work on the Kabobs in the kitchen...doesn't he look cute in an aprom?!?!
Richie and his Mama...look at those smiles?!!
The kitchen group...we hover around food, obviously!
RJ, Joni, Lori, Me, Denise, Roxy and Krista! I love how our families come together!
Moving outside to the grill with Krista, Denise, RJ, Me and Rich!
Time for the kiddos Easter Egg hunt....we had an adult one too, but no pictures or proof (thanks Aunt Roxy)!
The delicious Easter spread...thanks to everyone who contributed to the delicious spread!
Back to Friday now...and it was time for dinner with Rich's Mom, Brother and Brianna...we headed to Anthony's in Edmonds to enjoy the sunset and a great dinner!
Waiting patiently for our table.
Denise with her boys (missing Shawnee)!
And finally, Rich and I!
It was an absolutely amazing weekend, full of TONS of family fun, food, laughs and all around perfect holiday! Thanks to everyone who made the weekend possible...we can't wait to have many more weekends like this!
