We started out the month of April with Tia
and Zack's birthday party. Tia's birthday is the same day as Naomi's
and Desmond's. |

party. We all had a great time, it was at a local park with lots of
stuff to do. Plus, we brought the spin-art, which everybody enjoyed. |

For Easter, we went to Mariner's church in
Newport Beach. They had some huge amount of eggs, like 70,000 or
something. It was crazy. |
|
|
|
They let the younger kids go first, and
they had different areas roped off for different ages. Here's Amelie
and Mia in the heat of the moment. |
|
|
|
Amelie ended up with a full basket. The
treats inside the eggs kinda sucked, but that was okay, because you
get to keep the plastic eggs to take home and do your own egg hunt
later. |
|
|
|
Looks like Mia did okay, but not as much
as Amelie. Maybe next year. |
|
|
|
Amelie took her time going through all the
eggs, but no chocolate treats, so that's a bummer. |
|
|
|
Desmond had to rely on his sharp
scavenging skills. |
|
|
|
Later, Mia got ready for Easter with her
own flower headband. |
|
|
|
All dressed up in their Easter finest. |

|
|
We've been making chia lemonade with chia
seeds. They're a super-food, and the girls just love it. |

Waldorf School had their May Fair
celebration on Saturday, May, 1, so we stopped by and they had a
nice petting zoo set up. |

The next day, a group of home-schoolers
got together for their own May Fair celebration in Costa Mesa. It
was a perfect day for it, too. |
|
|
|
At the May Fair festival, Mia had fun
being a rickshaw driver. |
|
|
|
Susie came up from San Diego to pass on a
bunch of boy clothes, since she's having a girl soon. That's Janine
and Kimberly on the right. Janine's oldest girl Renee is in the blue
dress. |

Earlier in the month we took a home-school
field-trip to a wolf preserve, and got to see the wolves from just a
few feet away. It was awesome. This is an Alaskan wolf, and the
picture was taken by Stephanie
Hager, who organized the trip. She's a fantastic
photographer, and has her own photography business. You wouldn't believe how bad my pictures came out, so
I had to email her to get some decent ones. |
|
|
|
This is a Mexican wolf, and the picture
was also taken by
Stephanie. There's a chain-link fence that I think she photoshopped
away, or something, because my pictures didn't look anywhere near
this nice. |

|
Until next month, stay happy! |
