Easter Weekend

This Easter weekend we made a surprise trip to SC to celebrate Matt's Mom's birthday. With his Dad's help, we walked into Outback Friday night as they were sitting to dinner with friends. It appeared that our sneaky efforts paid off:

Saturday we visited, ran around with his parents, did taxes (yes, on "vacation") and had pizza for dinner. Sunday, being Easter, we spiffed ourselves up and headed to church where hugs were given to family friends and we posed by the gorgeous Easter lilies:

We ate a filling lunch buffet in great company at Houndslake, which also happens to be where Matt played tennis day-in and day-out growing up. While there we walked by the courts to take a stroll down memory lane.

Once home and changed into comfy clothes, impressively no one crashed and burned on the couch. Instead we loaded up and drove to Hitchcock Woods for a walk through the forest (or a swim through the pollen) Aside from the pollen (see Matt's shoes below) it was a perfect day to meander through the pines.

awww..that is fun! I love the look on Matt's mom's face. So great. And I like your gray/silver shirt J. I'm going to have to borrow that one...how long does it take to drive to SC from your place anyway? (P.S. the "word verification" below for me is "CHINES." Pretty close to chinese...I'm counting it :)
