April Fool's - 2011

We had a great trip to Oregon (what ended up being the week before Hailey was born)! We left on the Wednesday of spring break and took Jon's sister, Anne, with us. We had a great drive (although passed a sad, sad wreck with a car turned over on fire...we stopped to see if Jon could help, but it was obvious the man was already dead).

The kids always have a great time with Jon's parents! They are so kind and patient with the kids, so we were able to relax, the kids played, did art projects, went swimming, ate ice cream cones at the Cove Drive-in, visited with Jon's cousin Donni & her cute kids, and had a fun April Fool's dinner. Thanks to Anne, the girls had the funnest day getting ready for dinner. It was so cute (and a ton of work)!

Our dinner menu was:

French fries (they are actually cut up apples)

Mini Hamburgers (a mint pattie between 2 vanilla wafers).

Cold punch (Jell-O, including clear gelatin ice cubes)

And for dessert - Cupcakes! (meat balls with colored mashed potatoes on top - Kate probably are 12 of these)

The cute chefs!!

Thanks again Anne!
