April kept us very busy this year. Gary was right in the middle of soccer season, Nicole had a big event at work, Maggie had soccer camp and Molly was moving at high speed as usual. Throw in Easter and a trip to the Spring Fair and we were a very busy bunch.
Easter in the Pacific Northwest was typical...rainy. I bought the girls beautiful spring dresses only to have to add long sleeve shirts and sweaters to the outfits. We held our egg hunt inside and colored eggs on a dreary afternoon. But it was a lot more fun than it sounds. Daddy helped color eggs and the girls hid the eggs for the hunt over and over again. They both got movies in their Easter baskets so we had something to do on the rainy weekend! We had Easter brunch with friends from church and it was a really nice day.
The weather actually held out for the Spring Fair...we even had to wear sunscreen! Molly took it all in while Maggie made the jump from kiddie rides to the big kid rides. She went on the Spider with her Dad - who spun it as much as he could. I always knew when they were coming around because I could hear her screaming! Molly tested a few rides, including the canoes. Her sister volunteered to go with her and even though it is not obvious in this photo, the end Maggie was sitting in was sinking pretty low!! We ate greasy, expensive fair food and had a lot of fun.
