This week we took our annual spring break trip to the water park. The first day and a half were heaven as the hotel was not busy and the park seemed to be all ours. (Friday night was a different story, but it we enjoyed it while it lasted) Upon arrival we got a surprise as we were told that they complimentarly (is that a word?) upgraded us to a two room family suite. The kids thought it was pretty cool that they had their own room and each had their own bed.

Will took this picture of Kyle with Lexi's camera and it set the stage for every picture after that I took of Will. He must have thought Kyle looked cool in the pic because every picture I asked Will to smile in, he did this same pose.
Case in point....
Rick and Lexi tried surfing this year...
Lexi getting settled on the board...
The lifeguard trying to get her in a good spot so she didn't fly off right away...
...and on her own! LOL She looks scared here, but she is making this face because the water is splashing into her eyes.

Today Lexi received her First Holy Communion at St. Gabriel's Church in Neenah. The children had a choice of four services to receive the sacrament and at the service Lexi chose today there were 14 others that joined her.
Lexi walking in to church this morning. On her special day she wanted me to straighten her hair, so we got up at 6:30 this morning and got rid of her "Lexi curls."

You will notice that Lexi was wearing a locket in all of the photos. She was given this locket by her great-great Aunt Verna last weekend. She said Lexi's Nana (Great-Grandma Hamm) had given it to her (they are sisters) for her confirmation 62 years ago and now she was passing it on to Lexi. It was a very nice sentimental gift.

After church the Radies/Schmidt clan went to a restaurant for lunch. We combined our little get together with the Bartz/Cerveny clan. Lexi and some of her friends at the "kid table."
At the restaurant...
These two look like they are hugging each other.
Lexi came across a spot in the woods where my dad and uncles used to make maple syrup. 
After a long day outdoors we sat down for "movie night." Will just got his popcorn and fell asleep just when the movie was beginning. :)
Happy 30th birthday to my brother-in-law Jim. I'm sure it was one you won't soon forget.
