Friday evening we went to Mickey's Irish Pub in Waukee and I would recommend it to anyone who is near by. Lots of feel of an Irish pub.
Saturday morning we got up and did a little cooking. Soon the Omaha Bucks arrived and there was even more fun with children and grandchildren. Those 4 kids are getting so grown up and the little girls adore them. We celebrated Katie's birthday Saturday evening with gifts and pizza and chicken from the Pizza Ranch. The broasted chicken there gives Tom Thumb a run for their money. Next came the ice cream birthday cake Yummy......
Following dinner D'Lynn and Annie stayed with the little girls and the rest of us went to the Easter Vigil. It was a joyous occasion with the beginning of the new church year and the baptisms and receiving of the new members into the church. We walked back to the font to watch the adult baptisms and I think it was the first time some of the boys had seen baptism by submersion. I love when the lights come on and Lent is done. I smiled and said to Will "Lent is over" and he gave me a big smile back.
Sunday morning D'Lynn and Anna went to Mass and then we started to prepare our Easter dinner. The children had an Easter egg hunt in the front yard and then the chocolate eating began.
Dinner turned out to be a delicious meal and a great time. Thanks for the fun Carlson's and Buck's. Everyone headed home late Sunday afternoon.
I almost forgot to mention that there was quite a bit of geocaching that went on. On Saturday, Dan, Craig, Will, Joe, Ronnie and I went caching around Waukee and grabbed 7. There was a few disapointments as several caches seemed to be missing.
Sunday on the way back to Moorland, Ronnie and I grabbed 6.
