St. Patrick's day was on Sunday this year so I made a little rainbow treat and some green lemonade for lunch after we went to church.
We had Grandma and Kalo over for some corn beef and cabbage at dinner time to celebrate our Irish roots.
We went on our first family camping trip during spring break. We went up to Savannah, Georgia with some friends. It turned out to be a lot of fun and worth all the prep work to buy camping gear. The kids loved playing in the leaves and wandering back and forth between camping sites playing games. Brynley is in a princess phase where only skirts and dresses will do so she insisted on a dress so I just snuck some pants underneath.
The first night was freezing so we had to bundle up but during the day the weather was perfect and the second night was great as well.
During one of the days we went and explored down town Savannah. It was neat to see all the old buildings and think about the history that took place there. We visited an old cathedral and the founding place of girl scouts. We also met a very friendly homeless man at this fountain and were able to share some snacks with him and he shared his testimony of Christ with me which helped inspire me.
On the way back home we went on a tour of one of the civil war forts. Most of it was mounds with the buildings underground and it was a fun place to see. The kids once again went running along exploring.
My parents also came for a last minute visit to see us before they were to leave on their mission to Texas. We had two weeks with them and enjoyed being able to have them here with us.
My dad is always a good sport and spent one morning playing in the tent with the kids. We had to do a practice set up of the tent and it ended up staying up for a few days.
My mom always loves to read to the kids and they love for her to read to them.
While they were here we celebrated Brian's birthday
We also celebrated Easter with them here.
Here are the kids at the kid table eating Easter dinner
The kids also did an egg hunt in the backyard supplied by Grandma Pahulu
