we had a nice easter weekend. we did a little plastic-egg hide-and-seek in the yard on saturday morning (william ended up finding the sneakiest spot to hide an egg). and then we dyed eggs. brian and i have never dyed eggs together--so it was fun to try it out together and with william. my favorite egg was the one i did of the high uintas (mountains, alpine lake, the three of us fishing, hawks, a pika, our tent...). that's the first time i've ever hard-boiled eggs, and i have a little bit of learning to do on that front. but the dying was fun.
on sunday, we got up early because b scored us some general conference tickets. we got up to the conference center without any problems (even though we got a few inches of snow saturday night) and enjoyed conference. brian and i both really liked pres uchdorf's and pres monson's talks. and it was cool to take william there--it's very exciting to be in the same room/place as the prophet.
after the second session of conference on sunday, we went for a walk around campus and saw some birds. the neatest one we spotted (or william spotted) was a junco. william also caught a turtle. it's exciting that william likes birding so much. he wants to go out again today after i finish working.
then, to cap off the night, we went over to brian's sister's apartment for smoothies. a very good way to finish up a fine easter weekend.

so how did you fit mountains, a lake, birds, people fishing, etc on one egg? sounds to me like you might have a career in easter egg decorating.
i love that william loves birding.
we ended our easter sunday with smoothies too. glad we're still living in sync.
You're blog wouldn't let me leave a note on the previous post so...glad you had a good easter and I am jealous that you get to go hiking. That's what I miss a lot down here. Hiking in Hawaii was fun but it was only one day.
Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm glad William caught a turtle.
