We were beyond blessed to spend Easter weekend with my mom, brother, and niece. \u00a0They all flew down from WA state. \u00a0My brother and niece spent the weekend, and my mom stayed for another week.<\/p>\n

They arrived late Friday evening. \u00a0Saturday, we took a country drive to some of the nearby towns, and had a wonderful lunch in Auburn. \u00a0The restaurant is called “Bootleggers<\/a>“. \u00a0The bar side looks like a typical country tavern, but the restaurant side looks like a nice place you’d want to treat your mama.<\/p>\n

The kids playing on the statue…

At the restaurant. \u00a0My mom and KK…

This beautiful bouquet was placed next to their wood burning fireplace…

My brother, and ‘R’…

‘A’ and KK
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

After lunch, we drove along the Auburn-Folsom Road. \u00a0We took a little detour and found an overlook with this lovely view of (I think), the American River…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We drove to Lake Folsom, which is part of a State Park, to walk along the beach a bit. \u00a0We came upon some sort of run. \u00a0It turned out to be this intense race where people kayak, mountain bike, and run! \u00a0It’s called the Big Blue Adventure.<\/a> We watched some of the contestants cross the finish line for a while.<\/p>\n

Then, something really great happened. \u00a0We heard the announcer say that they were selling the two-person inflatable kayaks for $20! \u00a0They apparently were switching brands and needed to unload the existing kayaks. \u00a0We ended up buying two. \u00a0Came with paddles and seat backs! \u00a0Incredible!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event also had a little egg toss competition. \u00a0They let the boys participate. \u00a0All was well until big brother beaned little brother on the side of the face. \u00a0He was pretty upset until the event gave him a free t-shirt, then it was all smiles…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We headed for home and attended the Saturday evening church service at one of our home church’s satellite church. \u00a0DH played guitar. \u00a0It was nice to share Easter service with my loved ones.<\/p>\n

The kids (including the furry one), slept in the living room…
