So Easter this year was slightly postponed due to the Grimes Family using Easter Break for a MAJOR road trip to Colorado!!! They left immediately after work on Friday, April 15th in a car headed for Vegas and by Sunday they were well into their 2800 + mile road trip bound currently for St. George Utah. Then on Monday they drove from St. George to Grand Junction Colorado to pick up Cara Spotts. On Tuesday with Cara aboard they traveled from Grand Junction to Steamboat Springs. On Wednesday they went from Steamboat Springs to Estes Park. Thursday the road trip ventured from Estes Park to Denver Colorado and on Friday from Denver back toward Grand Junction with a quick stop in Golden CO where the Coors Brewing Company is located. On Saturday after staying the night with Cara in Grand Junction they made their way toward California through St. George UT and Zion National Park. By Easter Sunday, April 24th they finally arrived back to Bakersfield far to tired to celebrate Easter! The Grimes family celebrated Easter on Monday because Sherry and Matt had the day off and everyone was feeling better after a good nights sleep in their own beds! The rest of us were back to work on the 25th so Mom and I brought the Easter baskets we'd compiled for Carter over the following Sunday once things had gotten back to routine. Carter seemed quite impressed with his loot surrounded by marshmallowy chocolate goodness--not bothered a bit that he belated date! :-)
The super cute Cars apron and chefs hat featuring Lightning McQueen was given to me to pass along to Carter for Easter by Kacey McNew (a coworker/interpreter at HHS). He seemed to like it too!!! :)
