Easter Weekend

Four days off work and it still feels like it flew by! We had a great weekend though, not too busy. On Good Friday, we woke up bright and early for Steve's race (as he already posted) and then headed off to Byron Bay with Rej, Clo and the Purdy family. We had a busy day of wave jumping, snorkling and playing on the beach. We got home late that night and decided to just take it easy on Saturday. We ran a few errands and got some stuff done around the house. Yesterday (Sunday) we hosted a pot luck Easter dinner for anyone who didn't have plans for Easter dinner. There ended up being 12 adults and 2 kids and LOTS of food!!! We made a ham and everyone else brought the trimmings and dessert. Yummy! I should have remembered to take a picture of all the food before everyone "dipped up". Oh well, next time! Here's some pics that I did take at dinner...
Why is it parties always end up in the kitchen?
Darryl trying to break into our spare room. The door got locked and Shamus was inside. We don't have a key. It's not nearly as tramatic as it sounds. Shamus was watching a movie and didn't even notice!
The ladies.
Darryl and Stacey.
The boys.
Clo, looking very Eastery!
Steve and Kristy (I work with Kristy...Steve is her hubby).
Beautiful Breagha.
Kitchen crew (Kate, Amy and Stacey).

Today, we're just relaxing and hoping to get Snugs out for a swim. Back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
