Parks and water

We didn't do too much for Easter since my husband was on call the whole week/ weekend. So, the whole time we were just wondering when the calls would come in. On Sunday we finally made it to the local school park to play. Our son loved it. The only thing is that our yard wasn't muddy so we put on his normal shoes, but when we got to the park there was water everywhere. It was messy. So, now we know to put on rubber boots the next time we go. Our son also got a kite from his grandma A for Easter and so he was very excited to help fly it and even just to hold it as we walked there. It was fun to get out of the house for once. We discovered that near this park is a huge area of grass, so that will be fun to go to in the summer. There is also a man made lake in our area, near all of this, so it makes for a nice walk. At least we have something pretty around our home. But we will always miss N.V and the beauty of that city. It is such an incredible place, the beauty and lushness never ends.
For Easter we also got together with my family on Monday. That was nice. We had a good time together. We did an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning at our home and then my parents did one for the kids at my sisters. It was all for the little ones, but it was still fun to watch them, especially our son, find things and get excited about it. We gave our kids a kid size shovel and rake for outside and of course, our son loves it. So him and I went outside the other day to play with them. It was lots of fun and he even helped me clean up the yard a bit too.
