Preston, part one: Easter

What a fun spring break we had this year!

The trip to Idaho was longer than usual, due to crazy weather (snow in April!) and two, that's right TWO mountain passes being closed. We had to re-route down through Portland, which added hours to an already long trip.
So after two long days in the car, we were very excited to get to Preston late Saturday afternoon, just in time for dinner at Papa and Nana's house.
The boy cousin table. When Trip's mom took off his shirt to prevent spaghetti-o stains, he was very upset, so the other boys quickly took theirs off, too. (The naked-loving Ratchford boys were first, of course.) You can see by the picture below that Trip was not in the least bit comforted by this show of manly solidarity.
A pre-bedtime cousin meeting:

The next morning we woke up to the spoils of the Easter Bunny.




In between general conference sessions, we colored eggs.






And we had a very chilly egg hunt.




My sister Cait and baby Kael.
My sister Tess, busy filling deviled eggs. Yummy!

Oh, we so wish we could have been there! It looks like some great cousin fun! The girls were blown away by that tray of hard boiled eggs! That would be heaven to them!
