Spring Vacationing

Earlier this month, we had a chance to visit my sister, our brother-in-law, and their cute kids.  It was a splendid time.  Playing in the backyard with the cousins was probably Oliver's favorite thing to do.  I liked that too, plus we enjoyed good discussion, visits to parks (we saw a river otter at one!), a museum, delicious eats (including excellent doughnuts), dyeing eggs, making bread, and the list goes on.  Spending time with family in their own digs is lots of fun.  I'm glad we all had the opportunity to visit (Jess was able to make the trip at the last minute and it was a special treat).
