Good Friday Blizzard

Last Thursday ... it was Spring, 50 some degrees, and we spent most of the day outside.
Last Friday... we drove to Wisconsin during a winter storm warning, which was essentially turned out to be a blizzard.

It wasn't really snowing at our house so we decided that we would just go, after all how bad could it really snow in March? Well, what normally takes 2 and a quarter hours, took almost 5. It was a nightmare! Next time we will listen to the weather man and wait it out.

The minivan was put to the test, got us there safely and we had a great Easter weekend. Two of Mark's Leys' cousins (from Iowa & Denver) were also in town visiting Grandma Leys. Zachary had a great time playing and swimming with his 2nd cousins at their hotel pool. Mark & I also enjoyed 2 evenings out thanks to Nana & Grandpa staying home with the boys.
Thanks again for hosting an extra 7 adults & 7 kids!



Trying to capture a picture of all the 2nd cousins. I think this was about the 10th picture I took in attempts to get a good one of all the kids.






Zachary showing Great-Grandma Leys the eggs he found during the Easter Egg hunt in the basement. We had to make the best of the basement hunt considering there was a foot of snow outside.

Glad to see that you made it back safely after that trip. Hopefully spring will come soon for you and you can let your kids run around outside! They sure are cute.
