Easter Weekend at Strawberry Park...coming right up!

Just a few more days until Easter Weekend at Strawberry Park. Quite a few schools are actually on vacation this week, perhaps deciding that since Thursday is Passover, followed by Good Friday, rather than losing a few school days anyway this week, make it the vacation. For those who have next week off, it makes for a long break. Nice to have Easter activities once again, as in 2008, it was so early (March 23), that we did not even have the water back on, let alone any holiday festivities. In addition to the regular events such as Bingo and a dance, this weekend features Easter Egg coloring and an Egg Toss on Saturday, and an Easter Egg and Candy Hunt early on Sunday. Speaking of early, the store, office, arcade, pillow and grill will be closing at 1PM on Easter Sunday. The grill will be serving breakfast menu items only on Easter. Looking forward to Brock's first egg/candy hunt, and we usually have about 50 kids join the hunt (and we split up the younger and older kids). Ironically, we also have an appointment this week about Brock's egg allergy...maybe he will be cleared to eat an egg that he colors this weekend. The long range forecast is similar to last weekend, with some rain on Friday, and clearing over the weekend...Sunday looks like the best day, although still a little chilly. Quick note about opening day, as I was asking Jen if her team was interested in acquiring an overpaid, overfed starting pitcher. Despite Tex's struggles, I still think he will thrive at 1st base for the Yanks. Joanie M has reminded me already that my team is 1/2 game behind hers, and the Sox have not even taken the field. Thank goodness it is a long season...but you still die a little with every painful loss. Congrats to UNC, as they made MSU look silly. Have to believe UConn would have been more competitive, but MSU earned the trip.
