so many things to post about! First, Tyler and Avery came to play and the guys and kids enjoyed their first day in the pool! Needless to say, it was a bit cold, but the kiddos loved it anyway. We also had such a fun Easter weekend. The Manor Downs Derby and Futurity both had trials at Manor Park so Micah, Drake and I were joined by Gary and we went to Austin for Saturday night. We had a really fun time at the track. Fredericksburg Too, We Have A Secret and Charm Dance (whom I don't have a picture of) all raced and We Have A Secret did in fact qualify for the finals!!! We are very excited. They take the top 10 times of the trials, so April 18 is the Manor Derby finals; purse $100,000. Hey Say Neigh (also no picture) raced for his first time on Sunday. It was quite a learning experience for him as they backed them out of the gates twice. Once, a horse flipped over and they had to start over, and secondly a different horse refused to enter the gates. Anyway, he ran well and decided to buck and kick when the jockey hit him with the bat which threw him way off. He did not qualify for the futurity, but we have high hopes for Ruidoso beginning in May.

Easter Sunday began with us with a visit from the Easter Bunny in our room! Drake thought that was wonderful and even though he brought presents, Drake still decided it was in his best interest to not hug the bunny. The Four Seasons had a wonderful Easter brunch and then an egg hunt. Drake hunted with kids 1-4 in age. They were all cute. Drake finally figured out the object was to pick up the eggs and put them in his basket. I think we may spend our next Easter there as well!
