Spring Fun

We have had a great spring so far! Spring break was another trip to the beach to see the Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Both were a first for our kids. Just a day trip, but lots of fun even if it was windy and cold. Later in the week, the kids each had a friend over to play and then we spent the afternoon bowling.

Then it was time for the Spring Choral concert at school. The kids wore their Easter outfits. Because grades 3,4,&5 all sing together at the concert, Mandy (3) and Paul (5) were together too. They sang Red Dragonflies, My Labrador Rug, and Walkin' in the Light. Paul got to be part of the ensemble that sang for My Labrador Rug.



Soon afterward, Kris got to go to Cannon Beach with the other Moms for another Mommy Weekend Away. It was fabulous weather - even got sun burned! How often can you say that about the Oregon coast on the first weekend in April!


Easter!! HE IS RISEN!! What more can you say.... We had a Good Friday service which was a beautiful way to set our hearts and minds toward remembering what Christ did for us on the cross. We celebrated on Easter morning in several ways. That evening we joined the whole family at my Aunt's house for an Easter dinner.

This last weekend, we again had gorgeous spring weather. So Mandy and I went over to brush on Bill the horse. He seemed to really love the attention. Then we went riding for a bit. We even got little cousin Jonah to go for a quick ride.











Hope you are having a great spring too!
