Saturday
We went to Jennifer’s mom’s for Easter weekend. It’s about a 2 and a half hour ride. Which isn’t long, but I hate riding in the car. My wife got sick of me constantly asking, “are we there yet?” After we got there, we had a bite to eat and checked into the hotel. Then we just sort of hung around until dinner and basically had a Thanksgiving Day feast.
Around 6PM went to the pool so Mia and our nephew (CT) could swim. CT lasted about three minutes before he wanted out because it was “to cold”. So CT and I sat in the hot tub and he made sure to let us know that “this is warm”.
After swimming (sitting in a “warm-tub”), we went back to Jennifer’s mom’s so the kids could color Easter eggs.
Sunday
We woke up to discover the Easter Bunny found us at the hotel and left Mia a basket full of candy and a couple gifts. When we got to Jennifer’s mom’s, we discovered the bunny also stopped there and left Mia with a table full of candy and gifts. That bunny sure did spoil her. We had brunch and left for home by 12:30.
Season Three of Game of Thrones started Sunday night and it was awesome. I thought it was a bit curious that Arya wasn’t shown in this episode as her character really started taking a lead role in Season 2. But I read later that they scrapped her scenes and put them in episode two because there was too much other stuff going on.
Monday
April Fools! I didn’t fall for a single April Fools joke. I also didn’t go to work and wasn’t around anyone for most of the day. Other than Mia. Mia is on spring break, so I took Monday and this coming Friday off so Jennifer doesn’t have to be away from her business too much.
Monday was also Opening Day of the baseball season (other than one game on Sunday that is). I love baseball, so I watched parts of a few different games and caught some action from the MLB Network.
Welcome to MN in April Prince Fielder
The Twins game started at 3, so I started that game until I dropped Mia off at gymnastics. Then came home and finished the game. It was 30 some degrees in MN and the Twins opened up at home. I am sure they weren’t expecting that kind of weather for opening day. But, in Minnesota, you never know.
They lost, but we are used to losing in Minnesota and I fully expect them to lose close to 100 games this year. So, my expectations are in check. The major league club is poorly constructed. However, the minor league system is loaded. So, in a couple years the Twins will be relevant again.
Over the weekend, we also got updated puppy pictures. The puppies are now 33 days old and as you can see, they are growing…
