The kids (loosely) tied a card to Nijntje (OUR Easter bunny) who hopped to me to deliver it and then, as if on command, proceeded to chew one end open (just like the YouTube video)!Props to the kids!
Double cute!

Fiesta Texas
Armed with our first-ever season passes, the kids, their cousin and I hit Fiesta Texas for some rides and rollercoasters. The day started out cloudy and overcast but it turned out to be a beautiful day at the park.While Kiersten and I sat out the Goliath and Superman, the boys rode virtually every rollercoaster in the park!
The last picture below was taken just before my beloved Blackberry died from being soaked in water. I disassembled it, used alcohol to displace whatever water I couldn't get out, then "baked" it in the convection oven at 200 degrees for about thirty minutes. I reassembled it and, voila, it worked!

Morning workouts begin!
Early-morning swim workouts begin...so that means 12-hour days for Kiersten from 6am to 6pm (swimming, school, track)!I try to squeeze in a workout before getting Kees ready for school.

Lance's bike
Lance Armstrong's one-of-a-kind time-trial race bike was stolen... and found... by the good cops of the Sacramento Police Department within three days.I imagine it would have been sort of hard to sell or let alone ride that thing so I wonder if they just abandoned it somewhere.
Story to follow, I'm sure.

Jonathan and Lars
We met Jonathan and Lars outside Barnes and Noble where Jonathan was attempting to repair his bike. We learned that they were on a pilgrimage, on their bikes, from Virgiania to Paraguay for the Mennonite World Conference in July 2009. I offered to help them out and after realizing that I didn't have the tools to help them, loaded up their bikes and trailer and took them to our local bike shop.We ended up being late for Kees' baseball try-outs but we were glad that we had stopped and helped them... they were good kids and were far, far from home (and their destination, for that matter)!
You can visit their website here: www.americas.bikemovement.org and follow their journey "down south".
Multitasking
Kiersten, who is my efficient multitasker, figured out a way to rig Kees' music stand to her bike so that she can read her teen magazines while on the trainer!Foggy Mornings
We've had crazy weather this winter... not a day under 32 degrees... mostly in the 70's... and either foggy or 30-40 mile per hour winds...it's been spring-like since the fall!

Oma's 100th
Found a cute picture of the kiddos taken in Holland when my Oma (grandmother) turned 100... this was a castle near Amsterdam called Muidenslot.
