Shane wasn't able to come with us this year, but Whitney and Koll came. They actually came back with us for a visit to California. It was fun spending so much time with my sister and Koll.
We made it up to Scout Lookout near Angels Landing. (We didn't really want to go out to Angels with the babies. ) We figured we were both carrying around 35 lbs with our packs, water, lunches, and babies.
Whitney and I started late because of nap schedules (the things moms think about and deal with?!?) but were able to meet up with more of our group at the lookout.
Nels saw these water guns Grandma had bought for the kids before we even left California and asked about them constantly until we finally let him fill them up. He fully understood the rule that you could only shoot people who were holding a gun, even if he didn't fully understand all aspects of a 'water fight'. He ran around shooting water at the trees and dirt and then when Jolyn shot him, he started getting mad and frustrated and just threw his gun down so he wouldn't get shot anymore. He probably used it for a total of three minutes that day. He just wanted to play with the water, not get wet, but I do wish we had a picture of his face when he threw the gun down.
There is a renewed pleasure in decorating Easter Eggs that hasn't been there since I was a young child. One of the perks of being a mom.

Your sister looks JUST like you! Whoa!
I am surprised you failed to mention the cool trick that your brother and sister played on you with the water guns. We are geniuses!
