Easter Weekend Adventures

Easter weekend has been full and exciting for us. We somehow arrived early to our 8:30am Saturday morning swim class. While sitting at the edge of the pool kicking our feet, Leah decided to slide right in (just as I was talking to a mom on the other side). All those advice givers are not kidding when they say these things happen SO quickly! Instinct kicked in, as I don't even remember reaching down to pull her back up. Erik said it looked completely casual - I'm glad it appeared that way! Leah was fine and we pretended that it was just as fun as all those dunks we do during the lesson itself. Thank goodness she loves the water!

Sunday morning was an early one, too. We decided to go to the Easter service at a local Lutheran church. This is not the normal routine for us, but Leah did remarkably well. From there, we headed to camp for our annual winter (spring?) walk down to the lake. On the way, we stopped at Jillson's Farm for the Maine Maple Sunday festivities. We got lots of maple treats (maple ice cream with maple syrup was, hands down, Leah's favorite)! And, we saw a variety of farm animals. Leah was very skeptical of the sheep.















Erik managed to say upright for most of the steep section!















It's a beautiful spot anytime of year.















No deck furniture needed!

Dear family, what a wonderful gift your blog is. GreatNana C. & I have been reading and viewing all of your entries and laughing as we enjoy watching you and Leah. What fun! She is quite a delightful walker and we can tell you are really enjoying her. What a blessing she is. We were surprised to see all of the snow!
Love and hugs, Nanie K and Nana

It is beautiful there. Still can't believe we'll be heading out east. I'll need lots of advice when winter hits! And what a cutie Leah is - walking and all.
