Hanging out with the grandkids

Kimberly and her friend Rachel drove their kids up from North Carolina to spend the week before Easter with us in New York. Jason and Rachel's husband Matt flew in Thursday evening. The weather was rather cool and rainy but we made the best of it.

Here we are in Kent Connecticut at our favorite falls

Oh Maddie... What a charmer!

Colin had fun coloring Easter eggs

With 7 kids the Easter Egg Coloring Production was EASY. Papa made creamed eggs for breakfast with the colored eggs. The big (candy) Easter egg hunt was relegated to the basement due to the rain.

Just a week before we were in Hawaii with these cuties

Before flying off to Hawaii we spent an afternoon at the petting zoo and park with Gavin, Miles, Tate, Toby. Ben and Chase.

There were rabbits to pet

And trees to climb

And goats to feed

And horses to ride

Nothing better in the world than hanging out with the Grandkids!

Here is our newest...
