Easter Holiday in Couer D'Alene

The rest of our trip up to Idaho was fun filled. We went go-carting and hit an indoor water park.

This is Brady and Sydney's favorite tree house park.

We also hung out outside even though the river was not up yet and skipped rocks...

fished...

and found frogs.

We can not wait until summer to go back.

Easter 2009

We went up to Couer D'Alene for Easter again this year. After getting off the plane late on Saturday evening we went to buy all our Easter eggs and dyed them just in time before the Easter Bunny came later that night. Hopefully we found them all and wont find a nice smelly surprise upon our return in the summer.

More Casitas Camping Fun

Lake Casitas Camping

We had a great time camping last weekend.  The main event was the horseshoe tournament.  The ER/ICU Crew (Craig Hewitt and John Goslin) were the undefeated champions.  Which is unbelievable given they were the only two players who were in the ER or ICU just a week or so prior.   Did anyone even come close?  There was a lot of eating, fishing, chatting, listening to the awesome guitarist around the campfire, smores, and of course the talent show.  Thanks to all the families for the perfect weekend get away (Goslin, Delibovi, Mager, Dunbar, and Moore).  Hopefully we can all do it again soon.

Fairy Tale Ball

Today was the Fairy Tale Ball at Sydney's school. Their performance and dancing was great and Sydney was so happy that they just played all day and did fun crafts. Instead of their normal rotations which usually consists of reading and math, they did classwork involving decorating gingerbread men, measuring giants, and making shields, crowns, and wands. Sydney thought, besides her birthday, this was the best day of school yet!

Santa Ana's

The Southern California Santa Ana's do not usually bring me much joy. It tends to knock over planters and outdoor furniture, makes a mess of the pool, makes soccer and softball games slightly unbearable, does a number on my hair and of course brings the firestorms that come roaring over the hills just inches from our house. Today was different...the wind made both Brady and Nana (and me) very happy as it tossed and turned their kite up and down our windy street. Thanks, Nana, for a fun day.

Father Daughter Dance

Craig and Sydney went to the Simi Valley Girls Softball Father Daughter Dance tonight and they looked so cute.  It was a 50's theme.  Mark offered to drive them in the Edsel, but they already had a ride.  

Bring Your Parent to School Day

Sydney did not ask her accountant mother to come and talk to her class about what an accountant does at work...she wanted only her Daddy!  I guess police work is a little more exciting than crunching numbers all day.  The kids were so excited to try on the bullet proof vest and helmet.  The class was even more excited to jump in the police car, hear the radio calls and see the lights go.
