A Family Kind of Weekend

We headed down to Pennsylvania for Easter weekend yesterday and added in the twist of helping Papa and Mimi celebrate their new house!

It was a beautiful spring evening when we arrived...green grass, warm temperatures, and a pretty setting sun.  We enjoyed an hour or so outside, stretching off the car ride itchies!  It was an adventure searching for all the signs of spring in the yard.

A baby Easter bunny even hopped by for a visit to see if everyone was behaving...can you see him peeking out?

Then this morning we headed over to Papa and Mimi's new house after their closing to explore and celebrate.  It was fun sharing their adventure and checking out all the new places to play and enjoy!

A secret house!

Papa and Mimi's new house.

Planting some flowers for Mimi...with lots of help from little hands!

Sassy is the proud recipient of the first time-out at the new house.  As she sat there and screamed "I yisten!  I yisten!", Mommy and Daddy were glad to note that the steps at the new house work just as well as the steps at the old house!

And I just couldn't resist Sassy's expression on our car ride to Pop-Pop's house...she is ALL attitude!

Once we left Papa and Mimi's house, we headed to Pop-Pop and Memaw's house for an early Easter celebration.  We spent some more time playing outside, enjoying a rarely-used sandbox...which Bruiser left in a cloud of dust as he left it, a bit like Pig-Pen!  We held some brand-new cuddly puppies, explore an amazing greenhouse, purchased some flowers, and played at the playground.  Now we are just waiting for Memaw to arrive home from work as quickly as she can! 

Tomorrow we head back to Papa and Mimi's, pick up a moving truck, haul some boxes, empty one kitchen and fill  another, and thoroughly exhaust ourselves...isn't that what vacation is for????
