Easter Sunday

Our Easter was really wonderful.  We'd intended to go to the beach for a picnic, but Sunday morning was cold and drizzly. We'd already prepared everything so we opted for a local park. By the time we got there the sun was out (enough to give me an annoying burn on one arm), and a nice breeze had set in. We ate too much, played a riotous game of croquet, performed ridiculous tricks, and had just a really, really wonderful time! But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

This pretty much sums up their relationship: Bri does something ridiculous, Michael watches in confusion...

The adults were far more entertained by the bubbles than most of the kids...
