NFCA Walk in the Wild 2013

Today was the 19th Annual Walk in the Wild for NF at the Pittsburgh Zoo. This was our second year doing this walk. Last year it was rainy and miserable. This year it was GORGEOUS weather for it. We also had custom team shirts printed this year.

Great Steps for NF walk

Today was the Great Steps for NF walk. It was the First Annual walk for this area. (There is a bigger walk in Pittsburgh. This one is MUCH closer and supports NF, Inc.). One of my FB friends was the head volunteer! While it was a small walk, it was still a great walk! Sadly, it was COLD! It actually was snowing while we were walking. Funny, because it was 84 two days ago. Oh well, such is the weather in April in Ohio.

Easter 2013

On Friday, we had our annual flashlight Easter egg hunt at my parents' house. The kids just love it. It's always cold, especially this year since Easter was so early. Doesn't stop the kids though!

All the grandkids. My three and my step-sister's two. 

Alvin looking for eggs.

Emali looking for eggs.

All their loot from Grammy and Grandpa!

Then, we head to this morning. Yay Easter! Unfortunately, Eric had to work, so he missed all the day's activities. *sadface*

Then it was off to my parents' for Easter lunch. My Dad and Eric both were working. :(

Starting at the top and going clockwise: My Mom, Grandma J, Uncle Louie, Emali, Erin, Alvin, my Grandma.

This is my parents' cat, Viktor. He was begging. You'll see better in the second picture.

See. Viktor begging. Such a weird cat. 

Sled Riding Fun

 Alvin, that's not the way you do it. You're supposed to be IN the sled.

 Go Erin!

 Emali veering off course

 The only way to go back up the hill. On a sled pulled by Dad, of course!

 Mommy, I'm coming to get you!

 Hi Mommy.

 Emali wiping out. It looks like it hurt, but it didn't. She got right back up and went again.

 Erin trying a jump out.

 Eric flying off the jump.

 Emali didn't do too well.

Erin's turn to wipe out.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at the in-laws house this year. A great time was had by all. I'm not going to bore you with tons of words, but I will overload your bandwidth. :)
