Easter Weekend

 

 

 

 

A beautiful 85 degree weekend.  Spent Saturday afternoon at Bergery's Farm in Chesapeake with the Kreutzberg's.  GREAT Easter egg hunt for the kids... lots of eggs, prizes and free homemade icecream.  The kids had a blast hunting through the fields for the over 3800 eggs that were hidden.  After the farm, we enjoyed some swimming and a yummy BBQ.  Sunday morning the girls awoke to LOTS more eggs and some goody baskets from the Easter Bunny.  By far, a perfect family weekend.  Here are all the pictures from the weekend.  A big thanks to Grammy and Grammy Shaw for all the goodies!

BUBBLE WRAP!!!

The best part of Grammy's packages... dancing on the bubble wrap!
