Easter Weekend

We graciously got the opportunity to go to Libby's family's vacation home this weekend. It was a 24-hour getaway with our community group, the people we share our lives with. We spent time on the beach in the SUN! We dug for geoducks but all we found were clams. We shared some great stories and talked about change. We played games, sang, and ate very well: Seafood boil, chocolates and candy, Tillamook ice cream, mango pancakes.... Mmm! We are all dying to go back! It was so peaceful and uplifting. Thanks to Andy and Ruthy for planning it and to Libby and her family for letting us use their awesome house!

This is the whole gang. We stopped at Fat Smitty's on the way to Sequim.

After the 24-hour getaway, Dan and I drove down to see my mom and brother. My sisters were both unable to join us (and were missed terribly) and I'm not sure what my dad was doing. It was quiet and simple. We ate quiche and my mom's famous pudding delight. We watched Prince Charles and Princess Di's wedding and Wall-E. A short visit but it's always nice to see my mom. All in all a beautiful weekend and an amazing Easter!
