This is the one and only photo that we have of Raine playing soccer this season. (That’s what happens when the family picture taker is coaching your team — you don’t get any photos!)

Cooling off at Baskin Robins after a hard-fought game.

Carter received a model rocket kit for Christmas and has slowly been working on assembling it. Today, the winds were calm enough to launch the rocket. We walked to the elementary school soccer field to make sure that we had plenty of room. Although, the second launch landed clear over on the middle school field, where a lacrosse game was taking place! The parachute opened fully that time so the breeze carried it a lot further away as it slowly came back down to the ground.

That bucket of eggs in the middle had a note from the Easter Bunny on top saying that the eggs were for Mom and Dad to hide. It was great because then the Easter Bunny didn’t have to hide them 10:30 at night, plus there wasn’t time for an egg hunt before church started at 8:30 anyway. (Raine pointed out that the Easter Bunny had the same handwriting as the tooth fairy. I suggested that maybe they outsource their note writing to the same calligrapher.)

Maui’s hook (from the Moana movie) for Carter, Legos for Raine, plus a book, oreos, goldfish crackers, and Reese’s eggs for each of them.

The eggs were full of dog and cat figurines and magnetic letters. These kids don’t really eat candy, so I figured that we might as well put something in the eggs that they would actually use.

April 14 was the Primary Easter egg hunt at City Park.

Raine invited her friend Mackenzie to the activity.
