easter a go-go's

we have real easter peeps! we have a nest of baby birds in an oak tree right by our dining table.

easter morning had us at butler park, letting the kids get some flat ground bike time in. #1 son needed a bike confidence boost after last weekend's crash. all the running around the park stirred a thirst and hunger.

we found the easter bunny at hooters! she gave the kids easter eggs. wings were buy ten get ten free and shiner was $5 a pitcher. thank you easter bunny!

then we had our annual easter stop at kathy valentine's house. my friends in dallas are excited to have tickets to see kathy's band (the go-go's) this summer at the house of blues. but this day was all about hunting eggs.

#2 son found a dog that played ball with him.

and a trampoline.

the older two kids were all buzzed up on dreams of golden and jeweled egg treasure. the daughter had found the golden egg last year. she handed her golden egg knowledge down to her brother but this year yielded no golden egg for us. but that didn't stop them from having fun and #2 son was satisfied after he found a giant lollipop.




then it was back to austin modhouse for some pool party, watermelon shakers and an easter salmon feast.

the WM shaker fixin's

and they always taste better when shaken and poured by a pretty girl.

fantastic salmon dinner in the screened room. kat was happy to be able to use jalapeno from our garden (on the cheesy toast) and yard grown nasturtium flowers in the salad.

and just like that, another fabulous weekend was over.
