Hey, hey, hey, more pictures are uploading again! This is out of order, but if you look closely (Be sure to click on the pictures to magnify and see them better!) at Zoey's eye and top of her nose, you will see red! No, it's not blood, but strawberry jam. She was licking dirty dishes on the bottom rack of the dishwasher while the measuring cup on the top rack was dripping jam on her!
Alisa, Justin, and Zoey about to leave for an outing!
The Blaines dyed brilliantly colored brown and white eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide. The colors and decorating were original and vivid and fun!
Friday, the Blaines and I hiked at Table Mountain (or Table Top Mountain, as Jen and Jill call it!) and saw the greatest display of wildflowers I've ever seen! We walked to the water fall that Jill, Thain, and I had seen last year and hiked down the steep side of the hill to the bottom. We enjoyed a picnic there. Emily is pointing out a lovely pink specimen here that Dad identified for me as rose clover!
Walking up from the falls, I got a picture of Deven and Ben (two little mountain goats!) sillhoueted against the sky which had cleared from about three days of showers.
Justin is making freezer strawberry jam, much to the delight of Jen, Ben, and Emily!
The rest of this blog follows below!

Fun pictures Mom! Sorry, just wanted to be like everybody else. Actually, they are great photos! And it was a great weekend! We really enjoyed ourselves and had such a good time eating good food, playing fun games, and fixing the health care issues!

You had so many new, fun, and tasty recipes. I am kicking myself for leaving the tillapia one on your desk. And for not asking for the eggs one. Do you have those in an electronic version you could easily send me? Otherwise, I can wait until I see you guys next to pick them up.

Those were really neat to see. It looks like it was a fun easter in Paradise :). We had a fun easter too. Lots of crazy late driving and not enough sleep but lots of fun and a good trip. I will publish a few pics soon too. Thanks for everyone's responses so far on the activities it's good to know because if everyone wants to go together it seems tubing is really big we might want to get a few extra good tire tubes so everyone can go at the same time but it should all work out regardless at the time too, but thanks for responses, Jen, Mom, Dad and Justin it's helpfull to know :). Glad everyone had a fun easter!
