A Belated Update: Easter

For Easter, we changed things up just a little bit. We went to San Juan Island to Dan's sister's in-laws house. It was a full house; Jerrie and Karl and the girls, Pat and Alan Froelich (of course... it's their house after all!) Sarah and the kids, and out special guest, Nancy. Nancy was an exchange student from Belgium that spent last year with Jerri and Karl. We were so glad to see her again!

We woke up early Saturday (no joke - 5:30am) in order to make it Anacortes to catch the ferry to Friday Harbor. It is always fun on the ferry (not however usually fun waiting for the ferry). Having Jerrie and Karl there helped to keep Quincy well entertained. Note to self: always take Jerrie and Karl with us when ferry travel is involved. During the weekend we decorated easter eggs, decorated the traditional Paar family "Easter Cake", ate well, played games, watched the deer trapse through the yard, played ball outside, explored the island and generally had a swell time.

Here are some photographs of the afore mentioned activites:

Easter Cake = Lots of Jelly beans, strategically placed (or not)

Audrey takes this job quite seriously.

A scerene hike, and a little "rock climbing". Not so easy with a 2 year old.

Annie poses for the camera. Karli and Quincy toss the ball around. Now Quincy teaches Nancy. Good thing cousins are around when your legs can't go any further. Thanks Karli! Cailee and Quincy checking things out. On a hike to the beach, a little rain won't stop us!
