On the hunt...

Luke is on the hunt for more Easter eggs while he masters the art of carrying two eggs in one hand at our Islands neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa Keary!

Grandma and Grandpa Keary visited us over Easter weekend, and we were hopping with fun activities! Here are the highlights from their visit:

- Hiking at South Mountain
- Relaxing in the backyard while watching Luke and Charity's nephew Morgan splash around in the kiddie pool
- Scouting out Easter eggs at a neighborhood hunt. The Easter Bunny arrived by boat on one of the lakes!
- Watching Dad and Uncle Eric play soccer
- Dinner out with Charity's family at a fun Mexican restaurant called Tia Rosa's
- Putting around for a game of mini-golf

We love having our family here ... especially when we can enjoy so much time outdoors!

A-hiking we will go!

We are enjoying a nice Easter weekend visit with Margie and Ted. Today we ventured over to South Mountain for a hiking expedition. Luke hiked some on his own and rode part of the time in the backpack. What a great day for a spring hike with family!

Splash Fest!

Luke's buddy Alec came over for KidSwap this week, and the boys had a Splash Fest in the backyard. Every toy ended up in the kiddie pool, and this truck was well washed! The boys also decided to run a bucket brigade to the backyard plants, so they had fun running all around the yard dumping water on the plants and trees!

BUNCO!

Each month, Jami has a fun night out with the girls to play Bunco ... only thing is the group has yet to play Bunco!! We usually end up socializing more or playing some other board or dice game because we're short of the necessary 12 for Bunco. But that doesn't stop us from having a good time! Each month the hostess chooses a theme. This month's was a pajama party. Here are the Bunco girls in their finest sleepwear!

What's hoppin'?

On Saturday we spent the morning at the City of Chandler Easter Egg Hunt with our friends Liz, Lee, Robby, and Ethan. The boys hopped on up to see the Easter Bunny, and then they loved picking up the eggs in the Easter Egg Hunt. They traded in the traditional plastic eggs for a bag o' candy ... what a treat!

It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's a flying Luke!

Luke and Scott just finished their 9-week session at the Rolly Pollies kids gym by our house. Luke's weekly classes have really improved his coordination, balance, and strength ... and he and Scott enjoyed the father-son time together! At the last class, the kids enjoyed a special treat and rode this zipline into the foam pit.

An artistic adventure.

We ventured out to the Tempe Arts Festival on Saturday. Not that we were looking for any new artistic masterpieces for the Leahy household, but it was fun to walk around and check out all the booths with everything from wall art to jewelry to pottery and more. Eric and Charity joined us as well. There were some fun street performers milling around, too. Luke met these 2 very tall women ... and even on Dad's shoulders, he couldn't quite measure up!
