Easter Fun

We had a great Easter weekend. Although Nathan had to work on Saturday we made the best of it. Unfortunately missed an Easter egg hunt with our neighbors/friends. We drove Nathan to work and then the kids and I had a car picnic (McDonald's drive-thru). We took our lunch to a park and ate in the car. The kids loved it. Afterwards we went to Tracy Aviary. The kids thought that was all sorts of fun too. Finally we went and picked Nathan up from work and rushed our little selves to an Easter egg hunt at my best friends' house. It was so much fun.
Sunday morning we had our own little egg hunt for the boys. Josh had a great time. Nicky kept finding the same egg. He would pick it up. Toss it in his bucket. Clap. Take it out. Toss it. Go and pick it up....
After church we went over to my sisters house for dinner and another egg hunt. My whole family was there. It was a blast.

Tank Additions

Last weekend we set up another salt water tank in our home. This one is a 55 gallon that we converted from fresh water. Yikes! It was a mess. Thanks to my brother and my very sweet husband, it's looking great. It's been sitting at my parents house with nasty yucky water for over 3 years. I wish I had taken a picture of what it looked like to start with. I'll be taking some pictures of it a little later but for now... here's a picture of the new additions.

Here's some pictures of the bubble coral and feather duster that we added to our 46 gallon reef tank:





And here's a picture of our reef tank when we started it in October:
