What's a burning barrel, Mommy?

I should probably officially blog about Easter 2011 prior to the Fourth of July 2011...

Easter 2011 was a pretty great holiday.  In addition to having the best looking kids at church,

and spending some quality time with family,

there was, of course, the Bunny and baskets...

but, the best part of the weekend was the GATOR.

The GATOR was not the best part of the weekend because it is an incredibly cool toy, nor because it came in an incredibly big box.  It was the best part of the weekend because I was able to experience my childhood through the eyes of one little boy with a big imagination.  On that GATOR, Bennett, Grampy and I walked the land.  We raced to the burning barrel, threw rocks in the big ditch, and checked out the ridge.  On that GATOR we looked in culverts, and ran around the grain bins.  We explored the well house, and the quonsets.  That GATOR traveled many years on it's maiden voyage.
