Easter Egg Roll

This year since Drostan is a little older we wanted to do something really fun for Easter. So Cassie, Drostan, and I along with 50,000 of Obama's close friends went to the White House for the annual Easter Egg Roll. After standing in line for a long time (made even longer by an anxious 2 year old) we made it onto the South Lawn.


Drostan did the Easter Egg Hunt, as you can see some of the eggs were hidden pretty well. You were only allowed to take two eggs, so we had to keep emptying Drostan's basket as he surpassed his limit.


There were a lot of other activities on the lawn. We had belly-dancers.....

.......Roof-top snipers.......

................Oh and of course, the Easter Bunny.

After it was all over we loaded up and headed home. Drostan was so exhausted after all the activity that he passed out in the back seat and slept pretty much the whole way home. All in all it was pretty fun little trip. The weather decided to cooperate and it hit nearly 90 degrees that day. The only downside is Obama never showed up, I wanted to talk to him about this health care fiasco...

Spring has sprung

Spring has officially come to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Most of the trees are budding and bushes are flowering. One of the bushes in our backyard is even losing all its flowers already. Here are some of the beautiful shrubberies around our house.




Of course the downside of all the beautiful flowers and trees is the insane amount of pollen in the air and covering everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. My normally white car is a strange mix of yellow and green, and even the roads have a light green hue.
