Easter 2010

back row: Kathy, Ariana, Beth, & ACR; front row: SPL, EVR, and KAR
We had an unexpected and much welcomed guest for Easter: Ariana who is the eldest daughter of 2 of Beth and my friends from KIDS Camp days (25 years if you can believe it?!?!). Ariana's parents, Beth and Tony, were my first friends to get married and while we'd lost touch in the last 12 years, we reconnected last summer while SPL and I were visiting San Antonio. Ariana is a gamer, btw -- she tickled, wrestled, played outdoor hockey and soccer and the kids *loved* it. And I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. She's a freshman @ Mills (a long way from our San Antonio homes) and Beth and I could related to that (though we didn't have cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter to keep us in contact "back in the day". Heck, email had just come out when I was a freshman @ MIT :-) We also had fun with our neighbors who organized an Easter Egg hunt for the kids (there were 12) (please log in to Flickr to see this photo or go to the email I sent if you're a great-grandparent of SPL ;-). SPL loves hanging out with other kids and particularly enjoyed the crafts and egg hunt with this crew. More Easter photos (log in to Flickr required or use the email link I sent)
