Easter 2010...the good, the bad, the ugly.

So Easter was interesting this year. We went to Delta for the weekend as we always do. We had fun coloring eggs on Friday night! Saturday we woke up to some pretty cold weather, however, my Mom insisted we head to the sand dunes anyway. I was not very happy about it. But we got there and the weather was beautiful! We had so much fun playing in the sand and riding 4-wheelers! McKinley and Ty had a wonderful time getting sand in every single part of their clothing. Then we went swimming at the local pool. Again we had a great time!

Sunday we woke up the a few inches of snow on the ground. Are you kidding me!??! I have never has a snowy Easter before. Kinley was more excited about the snow than the easter bunny. Grandma is a total trooper and took all the kids out to build a snowman. They had a wonderful time and made 3 snowmen and 1 snow bunny! We took our annual family pictures by them. I will have to post those later. All in all we had a great time in Delta!!

Later that day we were traveling to Cedar City to spend some time with Jeremy's family. What happens on the way home??? We get pulled over....Not once but twice. Seriously?!? How crappy can it get? Thankfully it resulted in only one ticket but I was still pretty pissed about it.

When we arrived at the in-laws we were surprised to find out the whole family was coming for dinner. Yep, 8 out of 11 kids and their kids and their kids were there. It was a house full that we were not prepared for. So of course Ira was edgy and everyone felt it. We went home pretty early cause we were tired and were feeling antsy. When were got home we got a phone call that informed us of a rather large family feud at the Reynolds residence shortly after we left. That is the ugly part. I'm glad we weren't a part of it cause Jeremy would have had a lot to say.

So I am thankful Easter is over this year. I'm glad we all traveled safely, fast but safe. And I pray the Reynolds family can resolve their issues and we can all be a happy, close family again.
