The Lieslands

We just finished up our annual pilgrimage to Mahoney State Park with the Connors, the Reagens, and the Liesses. The kids had a great time riding bikes, playing tennis, hiking, fishing and probably about a million other things.

Summer is finally upon us and we plan to enjoy it. We have a busy Summer planned, with quite a few trips and camps. We have been spending a lot of time outside over the past two weeks. Here is a shot from Gray’s Lake last night.

Mary Connor, the kids, and I ran the Dam to Dam this morning. The adult race is a 20k and the kids’ races were 100 and 200 meter sprints.

I am Adventureland.

I am Penguins of Madagascar.

I am Mary Poppins.

I am a passion for my brother!

Mari and Andrew had their first dance recitals yesterday. They did really well and had a lot of fun. Both of them even managed to sneak in a wave to us during their dances.

There were no pictures or video allowed during the actual performances, but we did get some videos of their dress rehearsals.

Last night a thunderstorm rolled through right after we got the kids to bed. I heard some commotion upstairs, but I didn’t want to bother to find out what was going on. When I went to check on Mari and Elliot before bed they were both snuggled up in Mari’s bed.

Andrew ran in his first official race today. He did a great job and had a good time. He is ready for more!

We had a fun Easter. The kids had a good time hunting for the Easter baskets and their Easter eggs. They did great in church and then we had a nice time at Gary and Kathie’s for Easter Dinner. By the end of the day it was sunny and 60, so we broke out our Hula Hoops.

It was ugly this year, but there was still a winner!
