A very unconventional Easter weekend

Yes, we had a very unconventional Easter weekend. Since we had visited our families during Spring Break, we didn't go back down for Easter. We were saddened that we missed all the festivities and especially the annual trek out on the desert but we had some fun of our own.

First up was our planned activities. 

I did my first spring event, a duathlon! For those of you unfamiliar with a duathlon, you run, ride, run. For this event I did the short course (1.5 mile run, 12 mile bike, 1.5 mile run). These are the hardest events for me because of the transition from running and riding. My legs just don't like to switch that way. Oh well. I figured it would take me 1.5 hours and I finished in 1 hr 27 minutes 32 seconds. I asked Kaitlyn to take pics like a grandma and she took 115! Here are just a couple of what she captured.

  

  

Yes, I'm revealing my age here. Don't hold it against me. 

Wells had a volleyball tournament that was (thankfully) in Smithfield. So, no early morning travel for the boys and they were not exhausted when they got home. After taking a nap (mostly me) we decided we better do something for Easter so we went out on the town on an unconventional easter egg hunt. We went looking for eggs in a bunch of stores and then went out to eat. It was a blast!! I think we are deciding that unconventional might become preferred! Of course, we will have to think of something offbeat every year so that unconventional doesn't become tradition. :) Here are some pics of our easter egg hunt. 

 Not an easter egg but the cutest ladybug helmet ever! We sent a pic to Pauline. :)

 What? Is that Wells laying and easter egg?

 Nope, he's trying out a new saddle for his bike. Thanks goodness! I was NOT ready to be a grandma.

 No eggs here! Just shoes and socks and...other bike stuff.

 Mommy. I'm a big girl now. Can I get a big girl bike?

 A Hello Kitty bike? Are you serious! Now, if only I could have that Hello Kitty car from Italy, outfit it with a bike rack, and put this Hello Kitty cruzer on it! Life would be sah-weeeet!

 A close up of Hello Kitty. She's so cute. :)

 Not your traditional easter basket but the contents will do just as well. New shoes and clips for mom, new saddle for Wells.

 EASTER EGGS!! We found more but forgot to take pictures. Believe me, we found a lot more.

 Dear Easter Bunny. Will you please build a spot like this in my backyard for me? That's all I ask, nothing much really.

 Mmmmm....dinner. Striving for more unconventionality, we had BEEF for dinner.

 Mama. There's something I need to tell you. NOOOO!!! I said no grandkids yet!!

candy, candy, candy!! Candy, candy, candy!!
