Peeps For Rainblo Gum

My Easter's of yester years were fantastic. Good times spent with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. We have always gone to Mabel and Clyde's. It's really all I know. There are casseroles there. And ham. Salty ham.

My cousins and I played games like "boat patrol" and "the blob" and basically laughed and wrestled until we passed out on Mabel's floor like a bunch of bums. This is how it went until we got older and started drinking beer. Then the games turned into something a little different but still super fun. I love my cousins. All of them. Even the newer/est ones.

Where was I? Oh yea. So this Easter was a little different in that only our family went and it was still fun and yummy and all that Easter should be. Except now there are new kids who are taking over and doing what we used to do. These kids are good at making a rukus. But they'll never be the Johnny Dollar singing band from the old days. No, no kids. The bar has been set and you've got a long way to go and alot of balconies to dance on and alot of steps to run up and down.

On the dock...


 Is it true that if you stick a brick on your kids' head at night, they won't grow so fast? I'm gonna try it.

The bottom of all the steps...

Inseperable...

Yes, PA I started cuttings for you. Won't be ready for a while though...



The real rose...

Easter egg hunt...

This is pretty sweet, huh? Does it get sweeter? Wait for it... wait for it...

Told you.


The most perfect easter egg dye bowl ever...


Late night trip to the beach.


The only time I could catch Big with my camera. Great job camera.


Daddies on the beach with their babies are so sweet. Even if it's your gross brother.

I'm putting this Easter memory into my Easter file in my brain with all the other ones. I'll put it out again in a few years to review. But I gotta be honest, my favorite files are the old ones when we were kids and we ruled the place. "The Blob" was the most fun game of the year and I traded my peeps for your rainblo gum.
