The rain let up just long enough on Saturday for us to get the remaining mulch spread, run 9 miles, and for the kids to play outside all day.
It was also the day of the neighborhood egg hunt. We rounded up our crew to head down to the hunt by the pool.
Of course, they had to get their goofy on before we left.
Sadly, because of the rain, we haven't been able to get out and pose the kids under our flowering trees this spring. The yard is like a marsh and the poor little grass seeds that we planted 2 weeks ago are probably rotting out in the ground.
Here was the neighborhood turn out when given the green light. Look at those kids run!
Rumor has it that there were 1500 eggs! I think they were all found within 5 minutes and about 100 of them made it back to this house.
Later, Grandma and Grandpa Seibert came down for a weekend of eating. We did put Grandpa to work while he was here and the rain stopped. We needed to remove the half dead tulip tree from the yard. When Jim planted the new tree 6 feet away from this tree, he noticed that there were no roots from the half dead tree. After some discussion, the men decided to just push the tree over instead of cutting it down.
The plan worked pretty well and we don't even have to worry about a stump. The tree was rotting from the inside out. I'm glad we planted the new one. I hope it lives. It definately won't die because of lack of water.
