Grandpa, Grandma and Lilly all went to the fitness center together Saturday morning. Dad looks great and Holly and I thought mom looked like she's lost weight also.
Boo was happy to see us:
Saturday Grandpa Bob took Lilly to the park on the motorcycle:
We left Waukon around noon and stopped by Subway on the way out of town. As we got out of the car I wondered to myself if I'd see someone I know inside. Was I surprised. I saw Jason Beneke, his wife and kids, his sister and his parents! It made me wish we weren't on the way to grandmas so we could talk a little longer. There's a chance we'll see them on RAGBRAI.
We noticed our Corolla had been leaking a tiny bit of oil in the garage Thursday and Friday. I had thought it was maybe just some drops left from when they changed the oil. Then we saw a few more drops in mom and dad's driveway in Waukon on Saturday morning. The oil level was still fine and I made a note to check it again after we got to Grandma's. About 10 miles from Manchester we heard a noise that sounded like a rock bouncing around under the car. Turns out it was the oil pan drain plug dropping out and flying into the ditch. We climbed out of the car in Grandma's driveway to see a trail of oil coming into the driveway and a rapidly growing puddle under the car! After a trip to the auto parts store for a new plug and some oil we had it running again. Whew!
Easter dinner at Sheryl's house on Saturday evening was great. Here are the pictures from the Easter Egg Hunt afterwards:
The family watches the hunt:
Boo and Carter played all weekend. Here they are hunting up some eggs:
We attended Easter services with Sheryl, Rick and Megan. Lilly even went up front and sang with the children:
Lilly was unhappy to leave Megan after having so much fun with her. They had a sleepover, dance shows and jumped on the trampoline. Here's a shot with crazy hair and some goodbye tears:
What a fun Easter weekend!
