Happy Easter!
We might have packed our Easter a little tight this year. Abe and Brandan both gave talks in Sacrament Meeting. Helen and Brandan sang in the choir. Helen and Becky taught lessons. We had company for dinner and then rushed off to attend our stake choir's Easter program. Good things to remember: we had lots of conversations about the meaning of Easter this week as Abe worked on his talk, Helen and her friend planned a creative and meaningful Sunday School lesson entirely on their own and they're only 12 years old, everyone pitched in after church and created a feast in 45 minutes and then Gibson dazzled us after dinner with his piano performance of Porcupine Dance played allegretto staccatissimo.
If you want to try a fun activity, check out relativefinder.org. The website uses your family search account to find how closely you are related to other people. In Brandan and Becky's case, that means not really related at all. Our closest common ancestor makes us 14th cousins.
Gibson wanted more of a challenge on his ripstick so we took him to the skate park. Here he is riding down a ramp.
We went to the church pear farm Saturday morning to thin blossoms on the Asian pear trees. Brandan found a little garter snake.
After working at the pear farm, we hid eggs in the backyard for the kids to find.
Here's Helen.
Abe found the biggest egg in his hammock. After a wet, cold winter, we finally have had some sunny days and the kids were excited to put their hammocks up again.
Gibson cooked tinfoil dinners for one of his Webelos requirements.
He kept a close eye on dinner and they turned out great.
One more food photo: since we were having a big dinner, Becky didn't want to make a big Easter breakfast, too. We had granola and yogurt for breakfast, but to make it a little special, we sprinkled turbinado sugar on top of the yogurt and used a torch to melt the sugar like creme brûlée. Each person had fun torching their own breakfast.
