We normally do our Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday because we like to leave Sunday for the more spiritual parts of Easter, but we ran out of time yesterday.  The two funny parts of the Easter Egg Hunt were: Cameron's eggs being hidden really hard but yet Allie finding two of the eggs that Cameron couldn't find and Mike writing the egg papers this year, which will not happen again!  Haha!  I usually write the papers that go inside of the eggs, but asked Mike to do it this year.  His papers were: one back scratch from Mom, Mom will do your chore, etc.  :/  Haha... my way out is that Mike and I are one... so he has to do them too.  :)

I planned our Ward Camp-out this last weekend and it was awesome!  It was really difficult finding a camp-site for a ward this large!  I spent hours calling campgrounds for prices and driving around to different sites.  I finally found one, but the Bishop (Mike) didn't like it.  Then I found another two which fell through.  I started driving up and down the river asking campsites for discounts.  Finally, I prayed (again) but this time said that I had done everything I could do and now needed to turn it over to him completely or we would have to cancel the camp-out.  There was one more place I drove to that was expensive and completely booked up when I called the manager.  But, he called me back and said that one of his camp sites that had washed away in the flood 2 years previously could be cleaned up in time for us to use it.  And, he gave us a flat rate that was way cheaper than every other camp site I had looked at.  I was so grateful!  It was a beautiful site with grass, trees, right on the river, bathrooms, sinks, showers, etc.  We played volleyball, had s'mores, stayed up late hanging out with friends, the kids swam in the river, the Ward provided breakfast, and then the Primary had an Easter Egg hunt.

Last night, Errolyn and I went to the Conference broadcast and they really emphasized service and helping out the refugees and those in our community.  The talks were wonderful and I enjoyed cuddling with Errolyn since it was FREEZING in the chapel.  :)

I only have a few minutes left to write so... we went to Universal Studios and Disney World for Spring Break and it was awesome!  Harry Potter World was absolutely amazing!  And Emma loved meeting Anna, Elsa, and dancing with Belle.  Our condo we found on VRBO was super nice and cheap.  We also went to Utah for Christmas and had a wonderful time with family, sledding, and with the kids seeing real snow.  We also went on a month long road trip last Summer, with Mike joining us for the last two weeks.  My favorites were: Mount Rushmore, Garden of the Gods, Carlsbad Caverns, Yellowstone, Brian Head... but there were many cool places in between.

I do have to share one experience from Martin's Cove.  The kids and I were going on a 3 mile or so handcart trek.  Logan jumped on something and scraped his chest really badly so he had to ride in the handcart with Allie, then Emma said she was freezing and we realized she had a high fever, so she had to ride in the handcart.  I had to tell the kids we weren't trying to re-enact the actual Pioneer trek and to stop getting sick, ha.  Poor Cameron was doing the bulk of the pushing.  Anyway, I was talking to Cameron about how many of the men died on the pioneer treks because of how far they had to go, the freezing weather, and the lack of food.  He turned to me and said he would be fine; if he could hike Big Bend, then he could do a pioneer trek and be fine.  I told him it was harder than he thought and he said he wouldn't die but would have been fine.  I thought for a minute and turned to him and said, "No, you would have died.  Because I know your heart, and if Emma or Allie were starving for food, you would have given them yours.  And if they were freezing, you would have given them your shelter.  And you would have died... for them."  He thought about it for a minute, and a little teary eyed said, "You're right.  I would have died."  I love my son... he's such a caring person.

What else... Mike is Bishop now and that has been such a blessing for our family with the spiritual growth that comes from that.  The kids are all doing well in their sports and music.  Errolyn made the top all-region orchestra.  Allie is talking and walking now... she's so sweet all of the time and rarely cries.  There's been so much since I wrote last... but I need to rush off to our Stake's Musical Easter Fireside where Cameron and I are playing a cello and violin duet.  Tata!
