Saturday Night the Memeres and Grandpas offered to watch the kids so that all the cousins could go out for a few beers!! As I’m sure you can imagine living so far from each other doesn’t give us much opportunity to hang out.  So this was such a great night to go out, relax and just spend some time with each other.

I’m not exactly WHO picked this bar but it was a great pick!!!  All day Alison was talking about a Beer Tower.  It sounded interesting but until I saw it I had NO idea how great it was!  Can you say 100 oz of beer?  100 oz of any beer of your choice….  HELLO…AWESOME!!

It’s like having a tap right on your table…

After 22 minutes, it was time to order another!

Saturday we had some very important Pre-Easter activities to get to!  We started the day with a little swimming at the hotel.  The “heated” pool wasn’t really heated but the kids didn’t seem to mind at all!

After our morning swim we headed to Aunt Diane’s house for some Pre-Easter Prep!  What would Easter be (especially in PA) without decorating some Easter eggs?  I was trying to think back and I think this might have been Noby’s first year decorating eggs.  (I know, I know NO mother of the year award for that!)

Keira and Chris were experts at it!

Auntie helping Noby make some eggs…

I think this picture was taken right before, or after Auntie let Noby put his hand in the dye to fish out the egg!! haha

We had three different types of decorating eggs supplies.  One box had little hats for the eggs…

Alison made this Rock Star Egg with the stickers from another box…

And Noby was excited to see his name appear from the wax that came in the classic box…

After we finished making the Easter Eggs, the kids got to decorate bags with stickers.  These bags would be used on Easter for the Easter Egg hunt!!

Now I know what you’re thinking… “Where is everyone else while all this Pre-Easter Prep is going on?”  Well here is our classic holiday picture… Memere’s working in the kitchen, while Grandpas and Grand-Pepere are sleeping in front of the TV. haha  Such a classic picture!

The weather was just beautiful so we headed outside for some bubbles.
