APC's visit: Sunday, 4/12 - EASTER

She was fascinated with her glittery slippers.

Mass. We arrived with Perfect Timing to roll into a spot recently relinquished by a perky and early-rising 7:30 a.m. Mass attendee. We took photos to offer as exculpatory evidence to GMK that we were *all* present:




Home to stage an admittedly lame "candy hunt". As we herded the boys indoors from the van, Tim intoned, "Are we going to [Patty Kiki's] for the Easter Bunny?"

So we called Patty Kiki, wished her a happy Easter, and had a moment of verklempt.

Then having literally thrown a dozen plastic eggs* on the front lawn, I "released the hounds".


Pre-hunting: not the most challenging hunt.

"On your marks...get set...GO!"

Having attended Mass and learned that He is risen!, Lucy decided to rise, too. (See separate posting for video).

How LLGA loves standing up like every other crablet.

APC readied & served a delightful brunch (after the two adults snarfed some Easter treats in the galley):
* Breakfast Casserole.
* Monkey bread, which we concurred has been an under-utilized breakfast-carb item.
* Strawberries.
* BACON (fried and baked, for variety--actually because the oven was packed).

Ode to an APC...bacon makes everything better.

Very-popular "monkey bread".

Breakfast casserole by APC.

Bacon delights.


Everyone gives Brunch a big thumbs-up!


Lots of rabbit-ears around the Castle today.

Hoppy Easter from LLGA!

Dinner. The ketchup was for some crablets' ham portions. Tasty *and* we were definitely on T-minus countdown for SCHOOL to RESUME by this point in the day.


* Purchased hurriedly and desperately but *triumphantly* at Vons after the abysmal Target outing.
