Scooters, Piggyback Rides, Basketball, and Easter Eggs. . . it must be Spring!

The NCAA tournament. . . mercifully over for the Longhorns - RIP. As Kirk Boles said in his article this morning, the families were not notified to save them the embarrassment. Starting off the season at 19 - 0, ranked number one, then self-destructing like they did. . . disgusting! Ah well, there's a good reason for not betting on 20-year-old kids.

These pictures were all taken in the spring of 2008 at Angela's and Danny's house in Arlington. Spring break brought some San Antonio and Austin cousins up to the Metroplex. Of course, the weekend included Six Flags, but I wasn't there to document that.

How many Aggies does it take to. . . sorry, I don't recall what the problem with the scooter was, but Lauren was up to the task, so Paul and Allison did get to take it for a spin.

While Allison was scooting, Paul was pressed into service by Lauren for a piggyback ride.

Andrew came out to demonstrate he's master of the court. Must've been a commercial break in the NCAA tournament.

The fact that it doesn't matter when Danny parks his pickup in the middle of the court is a testament to these kids' flexibility. Lauren's switched to her bike, Allison's trying to figure out how to block the shot, and Natalie is going for three points.


Enough fresh air and exercise! Let's dye Easter eggs.


Two years makes a difference. I heard through the grapevine that Allison and Paul were up there for spring break again last weekend. I understand Natalie, however, was off visiting college campuses in the Southeast with her friend Alex and Alex's mom. Got to be ready when those scholarships are offered. Those that were around did the six flags boogie, and probably all the other stuff they did in 2008, except that it's still a little early yet to be dying Easter eggs. I love watching these kids whenever they can get together - they just have so much fun and get along with each other so well. My hope for them is that it can always be thus.
