Easter Week, April 15th - 21st

We got the boat launched this week to get it out of the way. Had a bit of a snafu at the beginning as we were missing a plug for the stern. There's more than one hole that needs plugging before launching! It's plugged from the inside and it apparently snapped off. 

Later in the afternoon Friday, we sat outside in the backyard watching our gardener trim up our heather. A beautiful day. Ray will go into Duncan tomorrow and get the plug we need.

Yup a beautiful afternoon.

 Ray did manage to get a plug so we managed to launch just before the kids arrived Saturday for our Easter dinner.

The driveway's a mess moving everything out of the way to get the boat out of the garage.

I managed to back the trailer into the driveway up to the garage myself, so it was easy moving it back inside.

My score of plants from Costco, all snuggled in for a few weeks waiting for the night time temperatures to warm up.

We have a nice display of daffodils this year.

Saturday morning the kids arrived to spend the day and overnight for the Easter Bunny to attend. Jason's parents arrived about 3 pm.

The weather was so nice, we were able to have hot dogs for lunch at the fire instead of messing up my table that was set for dinner.

Pat, our neighbour, gave Amelia this umbrella that was her grandson's from years back. She loves it!

I had most of dinner already prepped and the ham in the oven. It turned out great.

Nadine made a delicious chocolate cake for dessert.

After dessert, Jason's parents headed back to Victoria and we all had our family time reading to Amelia before sleepy time.

The next morning the Easter Bunny arrived overnight. Amelia is all set for her Easter Egg Hunt!

After making breakfast, the kids left early, as they have a whole list of things to get at Dinter's Nursery for their yard. After this whirlwind visit, we took it easy for the rest of the day.

I have 2 days to put the house to rights before Steve and Dianne arrive for 2 days.
