Happy Easter from the LAKE

Our first time to be at Pickwick in quite sometime. We had GREAT weather and got LOTS of Spring cleaning and house maintenance done this weekend. The picture above is of our "first boat cruise" of the year. We have our boat in our new slip on the water and I am really looking forward to that added convenience this year. We took our battery charger to the boat planning on having to charge it before we went on the water...a pleasant surprise...it cranked right up!!! GREAT feeling! We took a quick spin around the lake and went to Grand Harbor for Dippin'Dots!

Then we went went back to work at the house. Jud worked on the outside and me and the girls concentrated on the inside...Oney floated back and forth! We FINALLY got the girls bedroom painted-this was the last room with the original paint from 10 years ago when we built the house. It feels so clean now! Here is a sort of before picture-I forgot to take an after picture. I will do that next time we are there.
After we finished painting, we went to dinner at Pickwick's newest restaurant, Cactus Jack's.  We LOVED it...great atmosphere, live music, good food!  After dinner we ALL crashed from exhaustion. Today we worked on some Easter crafts for fun. We saw this idea from a friend and we sort of improvised. Her idea was to make wreaths and we made candle holders.
We got home around 3:00 and started working on Student Council Campaigns. Ally is running for President and Abby is running for Secretary. They had to have their 5 posters ready for school tomorrow. WHEW....we are ALL completely worn out tonight. But, I think they did a superb job!

So, a BUSY, PRODUCTIVE, weekend for ALL 5 of us.  We are now on the countdown to Summer and boy are we ready! Happy Easter to everyone!
