We went camping on Earth Day weekend with Terri and John and their grandchildren, Lexi and Jack and some of their friends. We took a long hike, saw tadpoles or very small fish in the lake, had rock skipping contests and tried to throw pebbles into a floating worm container. We washed all of our disposable dishes in honor of Earth Day. After dinner we roasted marshmallows and told spooky stories. Kameron told a very long story about a flea found in a carton of milk and how it was trying to take over the world. We were all scared of that one. At night a dog barked and barked and kept some of us awake. In the morning it started to rain, so we had to pack up and head out before we got soaked.

On Easter, we went to Grandpa Hi and Lala's and had our annual Easter Egg Hunt. It was pretty chilly out. Unfortunately, Grandpa Hi couldn't get the lawn tractor running, so there was no Blomquist Mini-Tractor Pull this year. : ( Somehow we managed to survive. Later we went to Gaga Kathy and Michael's for dinner and saw Paul and Greg and Sara there too.
