We decided to embark on a trip to Blue Grass Country. We rented this "well equipped" Suburban that we affectionately named "The Great White".
Hotels are always a hit with the kids...
Chuck found his Mecca...
We ventured out to the Kentucky Horse Park


We tried swimming, but it was a little too cool out. 
When the kids turned blue, we turned to "alternate swimming"...

Much overdue update

Wow, has it really been nearly 3 months since I updated? Let me see, what Easterlin stories can I tell you?

Charlie learned some cool self defense moves at Bryce Thompson's birthday party in April

Also in April, my friend, Jane was nominated for Nurse of the Year ! Yea, Jane... you ROCK!

At the end of April, Chuck and Charlie made a quick to South Carolina. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the visit :( The girls and I were sad that we were not able to go, but I'm glad that the boys had a good time.

On April 28, Sean and Mel, Curt, and some friends from work went to a Trivia night to benefit a little boy with severe asthma . We came in 3rd place! Who knew we were so smart?!?

In May, we got to kitty sit Haley... always a good time.

A few times a year, our Fire dept puts on a Family Movie Night. Great PR move, and very fun. They have a BBQ and show a movie. We had a fantastic hotdog, and watched Madagascar.

Horray for Baseball season! Go Cards! 12 in '12!!

Also this year, Charlie started taking ice skating lessons in preparation for his hockey career :) The first lesson was torture. He hated it. By lesson #2, he was flying around the rink like a pro. "Flying" and "pro" are used extremely loosely here :) At least he wasn't crying. Intro to hockey starts Monday!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Melody and I enjoyed a quick girls vacation to Hotsprings, AR. We enjoyed the best message EVAH! I highly recommend the Sabai Spa. We then ventured out to dig for diamonds. No luck, but I found a huge purple "amythyst"... in the gift shop.Very valuable. I think it is worth at least $7

June promises to bring many more Easterlin adventures... stay tuned~!

RIP "Orange" the snail

"Nancy" the Beta fish lost her housekeeper to natural causes the other day. We will miss you, Orange. You were quite possibly the hardest working mollusk in our family. Orange has since been replaced by "Minnie" the snail. You have a big shell to fill, Minnie. Welcome to the tank... now GET TO WORK!
