Our Easter Weekend

I was playing with the new to me camera and I used the timer function to snap this shot. I'm still having great difficulty using this camera. Outside, in bright light, its impossible to see what you are taking a picture of and the focus seems to work only 50% of the time.

We took an Easter Day stroll through Petrified Springs with G-Ma. Before the hike, we ate out a huge dinner. In retrospect, I wish I could have reversed the order of those events. DH forgot his hat in the car and it was a little too windy for his head so I gave him the hood from my jacket.

The day before we celebrated big too, at my sister's house. I tried to take a little taste of everything but we had so many options, a little here and there quickly added up to quite a bit.

We had a wonderful weekend visiting with family and it was great my parents were able to make the trip and stay with us all week. 

We learned a new board game called Telestrations. Its a mix between telephone and Pictionary and its hilarious. Using dry erase flip boards, you take turns guessing the word or phrase or drawing a picture, continually passing the flip boards around the table to all the players. When everyone has completed drawing or guessing words, you review all the guesses and drawings and it so funny how things get misinterpreted. I think I'm going to have to add this game to our collection someday soon.

Today I need to catch up on errands and laundry before work. Its going to be a busy start of the week. Hope you all have a good one!

I just love what the game sounds like! I've played pictionary myself and it's such a fun game.
I also know the feeling when the table is just full of so many sorts of things to eat. Then just a tiny bit of everything would make you very full.

It sounds like you had a great week and Easter celebration! The game does sound like fun. We love Pictionary when the kids are her. It's a good picture! Hope you feel more comfortable with the new camera, soon.

I don't remember you saying that you got a new camera. Cool! I bet having a timer will be fun playing with it. Glad you had a nice holiday

I didn't. This is a new to me, camera hand me down from my DMIL. Until I can afford to buy a new one, I'll make it work.
