Easter Egg Hunt

Posted in Ramblings on May 15th, 2010 by Chris – Be the first to comment

A little while back our neighbors organized an Easter Egg hunt.  Isabelle wasn’t very interested.  Just put this together on YouTube.  Karyn was teaching the kids a little dance.  Mike and Karyn are probably the best neighbors ever.  Their kids treat Izzy really well and they are always inviting us over or hanging out.

On a side note, instead of posting this on Facebook I’m trying to diversify our social media so that I have a bit more control.  All these weird privacy changes of they keep making are getting scary.

I think I woke up first this morning.  I ambled my way to the restroom to cleanup and lit the citronella candles on the way out.  As I come back to the tent the rest of the party is gently rising from the tent, hungry.  We broke out some eggs, bacon, sausage, onions, mushrroms, and peppers.  While we ate we decided that we wanted to go kayaking.  We called one place and they said they were all booked up.  Now here’s the thing, instead of hanging up, he asked us to hold and CALLED the other kayaking companies around the island and found us a slot for 7! read more »

So we’re back in Maryland now.  It’s good to be home, back to civilization.   The trip overall was great.  Good to be away from TV and computers for awhile and spend time with family and friends.  I think I’ll break up my posts so that each covers a day.  Hopefully this gets me in the habit of posting every day or so.  read more »

So we had our semi-annual game night at work on Saturday.  It ran from 9pm to 1am and it seems that we attract a pretty good crowd.  We were able to setup the big projection screen ( 9′ x 12′) outside in the courtyard with StepMania.  We bought a couple of metal dance pads and it was really loud.  Inside the lab there was a group playing DOTA (a Warcraft III map) and we had Guitar Hero running in the lobby.  Eventually we got an X-box hooked up as well.  Looks like we got around 60 people through the lab. read more »
