Stand-off

This:   

   

Lasted nearly three hours.  What was the issue?  This fearsome creature on top of the basketball net:

 

The gecko eventually prevailed, and snuck away when MacD was distracted, but the poor dog was on high alert for a very long time.  

Arts festival

it was hot and humid, but we rode to the arts festival.  The kids had fun decorating balloons and having their faces painted.   

   

Being on bicycles prevented us buying any lawn sculptures or lovely prints/art, but I am very pleased with my new glasses.  

More Easter

Some of the eggs required assistance to recover.  

Laura made it up to 80 jumps on her new skipper.  She is determined to make it into triple digits.  

My fun new dress – nice to have an excuse to wear it!

 

Easter egg hunting 

The kids had a wonderful time hunting for Easter Eggs this morning. They were hidden up high and down low leading to lots of giggling and happy screaming as more were found. 

They also each got a new outdoor toy. Colin got a soft bumpy football and Laura got a skipping ball. Both of which got lots of use today. 

Getting a picture of the 2 kids in motion was hard. Sorry for the blurry photos.
