Easter weekend in pictures

9 April 2007 A thousand words

We spent Easter weekend with Beloved’s family north of Huntsville. But first, we decorated some eggs. Mimi and Pipi (a French coloquiallism for Grandmaman and Grandpapa) live on the other side of a gorgeous four and a half hour drive through Algonquin Provincial Park.
