Happy Late Easter!

Of course my Easter post is a bit late, but at least Easter was so early this year that it kinds of evens out, right? We headed down to Rhode Island to spend the weekend with Grancy, Aunt Pat, and Tio Nathan. It was a quick trip (only one night), but really fun. Saturday was actually the more festive day, what with Patty-Pat there, and with everyone still riding the excitement of arrival.

It wouldn't be Easter without coloring eggs with carcinogenic dye!!
Sometimes ritual trumps logic...

A cold, but gloriously sunny day had us outside. What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring?

And of course some non-weapons grade rocket launching fun.

The volcano that was sort of fun to watch...

and the diet coke and mentos combination that far surpassed it. (Tio and Nathan get bored easily away from life's larger responsibilities, like work.)

A little wine made everyone a little silly. The yams were also worn as Grancy's horns and nostril decorations...

After all was said and done, an afternoon nap on the couch was surely in order.

Oh I love these pictures. Aren't you amazed by the difference from VT to RI, in terms of spring that is. I have to admit that I love chemically soaked eggs. They are so magically brilliant. But I also love hot pink cake frosting.
