Springtime in Texas

Preparing for the egg hunt

Late March and April is the best time to be outside where we live. It’s not too hot and it’s not cold. While we get a little rain when we’re lucky, it’s mostly just clear skies and sunshine in Texas in the spring. So we hang out outside as much as we can.

Hazel's really into tree climbing

Last weekend, we went to our annual neighborhood egg hunt. It was the 20^th year they’ve had it, but only the third year we’ve been around for it. This year, we all did way better than ever before. In previous years, we came back with only a few eggs. This year, we came back with a reasonable amount – even Turner. We were super happy to eat all the candy inside the plastic eggs.

Otherwise, Hazel and Turner have been seizing the opportunity to roller skate and ride their scooters and bikes. The school just put new blacktop on the parking lot behind our house, so it’s nice and smooth and fun to ride on.

Meanwhile, I am very into basketball. It doesn't hurt that Kentucky is still undefeated, and I've been watching their games all season with Dad. I play at school at recess and in PE, and after school at the playground when we all go over there. I am also very excited because I signed up for a basketball class at the gym. I have only been to one class so far, but it’s fun and we're all happy about it.

Here’s hoping summer doesn’t descend upon us anytime soon so we can enjoy lots more time outside!
