Caitlyns First Airplane Ride

A couple of weeks ago I took Caitlyn up for her first airplane ride. Actually she has been several places in large commercial jets but this was her first real airplane ride in a Cessna 150. It ended up being a very turbulant day but I think it just made it more exciting for her. To my surprise she loved it and didnt want to come down.

Camping at Willow Springs Lake

In the beginning of may we took our annual camping trip with some long time friends of ours. Last year was Durango, Colorado so this year we went in state to a lake on the rim called Willow Springs lake. Originally we had planned to camp at Woods Canyon lake however with all the snow they had this year many of the trees were down so the Woods Canyon campground was closed. Fortunately the fishing was much better at Willow Springs Lake so we were glad we ended up their. The kids had lots of fun getting dirty and even played in some snow patched that remained even with temperatures in the upper 70s.

Caitlyn and Carters Birthdays

With Caitlyns birthday on the 15th and Carters on the 17th we weren't sure how to handle the party situation. We decided this year to celebrate Caitlyns one weekend with her friends and then have another celebration the following weekend mainly with family for Carter. Both party's worked out great and the kids had loads of fun.

Easter

This year we celebrated Easter over at Mollys parents house after the kids searched for their baskets in the morning at our house. I was on call but was blessed to not be called out so I was able to enjoy the day with the family. Caitlyn has Easter egg finding and basket hunting down. Carter will figure it out eventually but was mainly engrossed in watching a mechanical bunny dance that Mollys uncle gave to the kids.
