Lana was so excited when Gigi woke her up Saturday morning. She kept saying "Gigi, Gigi!" We enjoyed coffee and a big breakfast before we hit the road for family near Colorado Springs. John's brother Paul just bought an 80 acre ranch with a barn and house in January. They plan on moving their Alpacas up to the ranch as soon as it's ready. This was the first time Lana got to meet her Great Uncle Paul and Great Aunt Marge. We were pleasantly surprised to see Alex's cousin Michelle there with her two kids Mackenzie and Chase.
I think Lana's favorite part about Uncle Paul and Aunt Marge's house were their new chicks. 6 new chicks are in a cage in the kitchen until they are old enough to go out. Lana loved looking at the chicks, talking to the chicks, and petting the chicks. She also had a lot of fun trying to get the two old dogs to play fetch with a ball and rolling a basketball to Aunt Marge.
Lana was really interested in what Chase was writing, so she decided she needed to write some family names down, and got a little help from Gigi.
We all enjoyed a hot chili lunch and finished it off with homemade cookies. It was so great getting together with extended family. We need to do it again soon.
Easter Sunday we enjoyed some time at home. Hot coffee by the fireplace and another great breakfast thanks to Alex. Lana loved helping to die Easter eggs and put on her earings she got in an Easter Egg.
Lana also had fun trying on her new Thai fishing pants from Thailand. Aunt Marijane and Kevin got them in Thailand and love their pairs. They will all be matching on our upcoming British Virgin Islands trip.
That evening Alex made a great Easter dinner. I think he has mastered the art of grilling. Just check out his grill marks! We all enjoyed our steaks this evening with sauteed mushrooms and onions, mashed sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Yum!
