Spring Break with the Richters

We just finished two weeks of spring break. Can you believe it? Two Weeks! We stayed very busy though with lots of fun with special visitors. The first few days we dog sat our neighbor dog Bruce. My boys LOVED it! I really do love animals, especially Bruce, but I was glad when our doggy duties were over. It was really fun though.
My parents came into town for conference weekend. They never stay long so we always pack in the fun. They stayed at Maren's Friday night so we met them Saturday morning at some Strawberry fields near our home. Everyone loved it!

Graham asked for a picture with the tractor

Isn't it so cool how they grow these strawberries?

We picked $16 worth of strawberries and ummm were they fantastic! We they hit up a tasty diner nearby and then spent the rest of our day playing in between conference sessions. My boys LOVED having grandma and grandpa all to themselves.

Sunday we headed down to Maren's for our little family Easter party. Of course, all the kids were together which means the yellow suitcase comes out in all its glory... just look at the look on Crew's face!

My parents blow me away with all the fun they are able to create. There were traditional things like egg dying

Maren with crazy Parker and precious Drew

And of course an egg hunt

But then they come up with things like "peep" ball which of course was a smashing hit:)

And what Easter party would be complete without a bunny hop race

These were some very happy but crazy bunnies! Around 4, my parents headed to the airport and the boys and I headed home, completely wasted!

Monday Maren and her boys came up for the day. It was a beautiful day so we thought we should go "exploring." It was a hit. Look at these boys all lined up in a row.

We had lunch and played around the house before they headed back home. Then it was time for us to get ready for round two of visitors. The Allens came later that week so stay tuned for pics of their fantastic visit!
