Church on Sunday was beautiful. Both Adi and Delaney bore their testimonies and while I wasn’t surprised about Adi, you could have knocked me over with a feather about D. She’s more sour that sweet lately, but she still has a heart of gold. We watched Once I was a Beehive that night and it was a nice, quiet Sunday.
Monday was our working day. We went through drawers and closets and changed from winter to summer wardrobes. It’s still been pretty chilly, but now that the girls are older I really like to have them try things on, so it worked. We spent all day organizing and cleaning, washing and sorting. We took lunch and dinner breaks, but didn’t fully sit down till after 7. So glad that job got done!
In preparation for his birthday Matt got an Irish shirt from my dad and some gourmet cookies from his work. Birthday week!
He also mowed our beautiful grass, and then Delaney went behind him with her scissors and got the edges. We offered her actual gardening tools, but she’s always enjoyed that job and preferred scissors.
Papa sent us a fun mystery box game thing. We’re not sure what it is, but excited to find out!
Bubba and jeanne shared florida pictures, so Lexi shared her spring weather. Oh Montana.
On Tuesday we met up with friends at Ann Marie Gardens. We didn’t think to get pictures till several people had left. And they lined themselves up in height order like this.
Silly shot #1.
Silly shot #2
Then we were treated to a musical by Frankie, Savannah, and Abby. It was very sweet.
Delaney made herself a big bowl of sand soup.
We ended up staying till after 5, and I needed to go shopping for the rest of spring break including visitors, a birthday, and Easter. I took Abby and Savannah with us and Delaney went with Aina’s. We did lightning speed shopping at target and Aldi, ate a quick dinner, and then Sarah and I went to a RS activity at the church.
Baby bug.
Auntie Alli met us that afternoon.
Kristi bought everyone Dippin’ Dots so we took an ice cream break.
I’m not sure why this was decorated so colorfully, but it was so pretty!
Delaney has been feeling very confident in her 6 flags riding, and patiently worked on encouraging Ellie to ride the drop tower with her all day. She finally felt brave and they held hands as they rode.
She did it!
We were all so proud of her, and she was proud of herself. And relieved to be done. Side note - I have not ridden the drop tower. 😂
The kids found ways to keep themselves occupied waiting in lines.
It was a warm day, high 80’s!
Six flags is small and cute and fun.
Papa got some nice pics.
Poor Frankie had to work to keep her bandana on her head all day.
Adi is hilarious.
We had chicken tenders for lunch and everyone was happy as it cooled down and the crowds dispersed.
Oh Max. 🙄
Ellie thought it was funny that Laney was driving with the outside gas pedal.
Meanwhile in Montana, Lu took Emmi to see Blippi.
He was cheering and singing the whole time, it was the cutest!
We stayed till closing time at 7. Everyone was starving, so we had dinner at McDonald’s and got home around 9. A little bit burnt and a whole lot tired and happy.

Wednesday we did Delaney’s choice of spring break activity - 6 Flags. We convinced papa to come with us and picked up Ellie on our way out of town (poor Abby was sick).
While Ellie and I went back to the car for her water, these crazies got a picture. We met Kristi, Max, and Quinn for our day of fun.
We rode the Ferris wheel in the kid section. Poor Adi got stuck with Kristi and I for this one.
I tried to get the kid balloon, but it was tough.
Meanwhile in Florida, Bubba and jeanne got smart after their initial sunburns and got swim shirts and hats.
Zydeco Zinger fun with the whole crew!
We had even numbers, so everyone always had a ride buddy.
The story behind this picture is that right after it was taken, they had to get off the ride for a malfunction. They’d waited a really long time, and then even longer to be able to sit in the front, so they were pretty sad. They didn’t think to ask for passes, so I took them back later and they were willing to let them hop right on in the front again.
