April showers bring May flowers...

The last few weekends, we have enjoyed some quality family time and the sunshine despite the nippy temperatures. Caleb enjoyed his first game of mini golf and was quite a pro after following his father's fantastic golfing tips. We went to the opening game at the newly renovated, Kauffman Stadium to watch the Yankee's beat the poor Royals. We enjoyed a peaceful Easter, although we were a little bummed it was our first Easter without either set of grandparents. It rained most of the day so we had our egg hunt in-doors at the Grife household.

Mini golf extravaganza!

Hole in two...

Assembling the train set was very tiring...
