Spring Snip Its

Spring Tulips by Carly Hunter

It seems that we wait all winter long for Spring Break--then it comes, and before you know it...school's out! The kids tell me there is 9 days of school left this year. Time flies when you're having fun!

For Spring Break, we visited Baltimore. What a great city... I recommend it, highly! Very family-friendly, easy to drive, lots to see--a great weekend get away. We also visited Rehoboth Beach, bought a beach kite, flew it in 45 degree weather in 45 mph winds! It was freezing, but it was a beach. We saw the famous Washington cherry blossoms--they are as beautiful as the tour books describe! Zach came home, celebrated his 19th birthday, opened his mission call, and we accompanied him to the temple--it's been a whirl.
All-in-all a great Spring.

Did I mention it was COLD??!!

"The Mission Call"--live and in stereo via cell phones and Skype!


Jake caught the garter at a wedding we attended.
We tried to explain that it should really be for "eligible bachelors". He felt eligible.

Check out her corsage. I painstakingly helped the florist find just the right color match...
pretty sweet, eh??

A summer now to look forward to...a missionary ready to serve, soccer camps, campfires, grandma and cousins and friends to see. I feel very blessed!
