Happy Easter!

Ever since I can remember all of my family would meet at Fort Lowell Park in Tucson for Easter sunday. I have a lot of family in Tucson and the only other time we really see each other is on Thanksgiving so it is nice to get to see them. This year Justin got to go with us and we all had a blast. We all meet under a park ramada where we say Hi to all the grandmas, grandpas, cousins, aunts and uncles. Grandpa cooked some breakfast that morning so we had some left over chorizo and eggs. Yum!

Me and Grandma - And all the yummy food behind us.

Each year all of my cousins bring their little dogs to the park but this year our cousin Eddie brought his big 150 pound Malamute. It was funny to se the little 4 pound Yorkies up next to this guy. He was massive!

As tradition goes we always say hi to everyone hang out for a few hours, at about noon we play a softball game with the whole family. Oh but lets not forget one of the most important parts of the day, and one of the reasons our Easter rocks!

Getting ready for the Softball Game :) 

The whole family plays softball except for the grandma's they just cheer us on from the dugout. We pick teams and the game begins, I knew that my cousin Joseph was good at baseball and so is Justin so I told them they couldnt be on the same team! We all ended up  on the same team and STILL lost. I got on base all three hits and Justin hit a home run!!

After the game we all head back to the ramada for some steak, pasta salad, beans, chili and tortila. We all ate more than we should have, it was so good! After we let our food settle a little bit we played a short game of Volleyball with another family at the park. Made me want to play volleyball some more, maybe Justin can teach me a thing or two. 

We ended up leaving the park around 4 or 5, my little brother drove us home since we had a few drinks and we were exhausted from all the days activities. On the way home we stopped at Picacho Peak for gas and some ice cream at Dairy Queen. In the Dairy Queen they had a little gift shop with just about anything you could imagine. I was looking around and I spotted a little cowboy statue. I thought it would be super cute for the new house, he didnt have price tag on him so I looked around and saw others were around $25 to $30 so I just let it be. Justin came walking up and said "I'll buy it for you" so I was pretty excited, we went up to the counter to pay and the guy went to look for a price and came back with a price of $2.99. How cool is that! 

Best $2.99 purchase we've made!

After we got home we just relaxed and watched movies all night. It was a great day and had a lot of fun with the family.
