Happy Easter

Ready, Set, GO...the shelter house gang getting ready for their egg hunt of over 450 eggs.

Taylor found one

and Ella...found a snake. Dave actually found 2 in a row of pine trees while helping Ella hunt eggs. The attention quickly turned to the snakes instead of the eggs. Ella, Hope and their cousin Zane were the only takers on holding it. The others admired from afar....including me. Ella's expression looks VERY unsure but she held it quite a while. She said it felt "squishy".

Spring Break

This year, the girls and I, spent break in Illinois visiting Grandma B. Macy, our new puppy, went with and we had no problems at all. She traveled great! I even stopped less than anticipated. She slept the whole 6 hours. The weather was great, too! We got to spend lots of time with cousins Brittany and Olivia who were also on break and of course Sisters Becky, Sue and Jane. We enjoyed our favorite eating spots, Happy Joes Pizza and Roys Taco House and went down the BIG slide at Richmond Hill. Yes, even I went down. I do have the picture to prove it but decided not to share. ;)
