Easter: at Vogel (and a Birthday Party)

We had our Easter eggs hunt on Saturday and also had our family party for Chess's birthday. We went to our favorite place, Vogel State Park. If you've never been there, you really should go. It's lovely.

Be prepared for many pictures.








Twin T-shirts!

Look at this cousin staircase! Can you believe we got this picture?






This one cracks me up. Chess knows the plastic eggs have candy or other treats inside. She also knows the hard boiled eggs, created with love and care, do not. Here, she is generously giving Lera one of the hard boiled eggs she found.

What do you see in there, Lera?


A necklace!

Thank you, everyone, for the great presents.
