"you got like 3 feet of air that time"

It's not often that Ethan wants to "do anything".. so when he asked dad if he wanted to help him make a skateboard ramp dad jumped at the idea. They whipped it up pretty quickly and we went out in the afternoon to test it out. when i say we i mean ethan and dad. i was just there for photographic evidence.

He was pretty shaky at the beginning but by the time the sun set he was awesome.




easter

Easter was a little quiet this year.  Its the first one back home in 4 years and i can honestly say I've missed it. Next to christmas, easter in the clarke household was always an exciting one. Dads famous egg hunts are forever spoken about in high regard. On easter morning once everyone was awake the hunt would commence. Its a race. "FOUND ONE" can be heard minutes sometimes seconds in. You need to get into the mind of Dad.. where would dad hide them? always in the back of your mind is where he hid them last year. As we get older the hiding places get harder. Sometimes its months down the track and you hear "FOUND ONE" coming from a random place in the house.
 There is always stories to tell; like one year he hid one in the toilet  -_-  seriously dad.. it didnt stop us from still enjoying the chocolate inside.

Here is just a sample of the ones he did this year.



There is something about the chocolate.. it may be the coloured foiled wrapping or the fact that you work so hard for it but there is no doubt about it. chocolate tastes better at easter.
