And Now Brothers

After we left my sister's house, we headed first to one of Ryan's brothers and then another. 

We had so much fun that it is about time I shared it. 

 First we were introduced to Amish Country, where we tasted some really interesting cheeses. 

 We also just got to relax in a house with no children and a fun cat. 

 I also got introduced to a scroll saw and made these nifty little elephants all by myself.

Sadly we only spent a day at their house but it was a lot of fun to see them again. 

Last stop was Ryan's oldest brother's house. 

We picked these flowers for the table from the front yard in prep for Easter.

 Neil wanted a special ham for Easter and I must say it was the best I have ever tasted. 

Very sweet thanks to the man's special way of raising his pigs. 

We had lots of time to play and be entertained by the kids. 

Could there be a better smile. 

Go Fish - Uncle Ryan won. 

They took us to the local museum that had a dress up section. 

Doesn't he just look so much older like that. Very cool. 

We saw some interesting novelties at the museum. 

We also had an adventure of going out to a goat farm to see all the new baby goats. 

 They liked to eat and to but heads. 

 Easter Fun

We finally did a few real Easter things like dying eggs and an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. 

Last but not least they took us to the Arboretum which was pretty even if it was took early for anything to be in bloom yet. 

On our drive home we got a very good view of the St Louis Arch.
Next time we will have to plan it in to go up it. 

What a wonderful trip. We were sad to leave but very happy to get home to our own beds.
