Easter in Walla Walla

We took an Easter road trip to Walla Walla to celebrate with Chris' two grandmas and the rest of his family.  We had a great time catching up with the family, enjoying the beautiful spring weather, and stuffing ourselves to the max with Kim's famous lasagna and Grandma's delicious home baked rolls, salads, and fresh apple pie.  Then we woke up on Easter morning and continued to fill ourselves to the max with a delicious brunch at the Walla Walla Country Club.  Aside from all of the eating, the boys golfed a round of golf and Buffie, Kim and I joined for the second half.  I had the game of my life, which is not saying much since last year was the first time I had ever golfed a course and I still regularly completely miss the ball.  I still had the occasional strike out and I am by no means good, but progress is being made and I guess that is what counts.  I also took a walk around the Whitman campus.  It was gorgeous with tulips and daffodils blooming in every corner. 

 

We loved seeing miss Sophie.  She is cute as ever and looked darling in her little Easter dress. We were also pleased that she remembered us and our names ("Aw-wee" and "Uncle" - without the Chris).  As mean as it is, a highlight of my trip and a low light for poor little Sophie was when the Easter bunny (a huge white kind of scary thing) approached us at brunch.  Sophie took one look and burst out in tears.  Even as an adult, I found the Easter bunny a little frightening so I don't blame the kid and I should not really laugh, but it was pretty funny.   

 Thanks Buffie, Grandma, Kim, Eric, Doug, Elizabeth, and Sophie for a wonderful Easter.  It was so nice to spend it with you all!
