Easter part 1

Doug and I went to my parents for the first half of our Easter day. I always take pictures of the critters I see up there, so those are mixed in too. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine and ate chips and dips. We chuckled while we watched the neighbor try to mow his acre of foot tall grass with a push lawnmower. Glenn went down and saved the poor guy and finished the front portion of his yard with his riding mower. Glenn and Chuck had a spring hunt instead of an egg hunt - Glenn was trying to get the most throttle out of his Cushman - the orange thing Doug was riding some posts ago. Then we ate an awesome lunch and took home tons of leftovers - our refrigerator was already overflowing from our trip to the store. Then it was time to make some noise! We were shooting potatoes (and other random things I was putting in too - carrots, M&M's, radishes, etc) up the hill and the second photo is a "dud" that plopped out instead of firing out. Imagine the sound of squeezing frozen OJ out of a cardboard can and the slurping sound and plop at the end. That's as close as I can describe it. My mom laughed so hard and had to run to the bathroom so she didn't pee her pants; Doug laughed even harder at her. We all laughed for quite a while. I got a picture of Chuck for Doug, he gets a kick out of the guys' mustache. Then we headed back into town, dropped my grandma off at the nursing home, and headed to Doug's family for the second half of our Easter day. Hey, do you think I got too much sun on my arms???
