Easter and Eagles

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! Friday the kids had no school so we headed up to Decorah to enjoy a couple of days there. We had an Easter egg hunt for them which is always fun. We hid the eggs while the kids were at the Whippy Dip and Ivy was napping. When they got home from getting ice cream, they spotted a few eggs and it drove them absolutely nuts that they had to wait for Ivy to wake up! When she finally did wake up (with a little help from Mya and Olivia:) they got to do the hunt. They loved it and everyone ended up happy! The verdict is still out on whether or not we set limits to how many eggs each kid can get next year. My brother thinks we just let them go and they get as many as they can. We shall see...something tells me there will be some tears if we go that route!



Saturday we headed out to one of the kids' favorite spots the Fish hatchery! Lots of the eggs from the day before were filled with quarters that they could use on the fish food. I'm not sure if any of their quarters actually got used, but the idea was a good one:) Thanks Grandpa Rog for doing your part to fund the fish hatchery! The famous Decorah Eagles were in the area so we got to take a look at them up close. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here to watch the Eagle Cam.



We came back to Dubuque Saturday evening. Chris had to head back up to Canada this morning so we needed a day home to regroup and get ready for him to leave. We had a really nice church service Sunday morning and then a delicious brunch at the hotel downtown. We came home and rested and then headed to the park for some play time and tennis. It was a great day!
