4-9-2022 Jordon had a T-Ball game today at the Y. He did good hitting the ball and paid attention when playing as a fielder.
Jacob with Jordon's batting helmet on. T-ball is so much fun to watch, my cheeks hurt from all the laughing and smiling during the game. The following weekend I got to the Y and discovered I had no billfold with me so I missed that game.
4-11-2022 This picture was taken at 12:30 AM as we were heading to bed. I had seen on Facebook that people were getting snow so I checked and sure enough we were too.
We had six inches in the morning and no power.
The snow was really heavy and weighted the rhodendrons down. Normally they are as tall as the motor home.
This is how it looked from the shop. Since there was no power we moved into the motor home and spent the day there. It was nice and warm with the furnace going and we were able to microwave lunch and dinner. The power came on about 6:00 PM, it was off for sixteen hours at our place. Some areas did not get power until the next day.
4-12-2022 I discovered two cascara trees South of the shop had came down from the weight of the snow. The largest one knocked down a rhodendron and the plum tree.
This is the root ball of the larger cascara.
Easter
4-17-2022 There was a good turnout at Bob and Cathy's for Easter. Jacob was really excited when he found the bag of Reese's M&M's in his basket. He held onto them for a long time.
Jordon was happy when he found the Reese's bunny in his basket.
James, Michelle and Mik were there also.
Robin read the entire book that Michelle got Jacob to him. It looked like he really enjoyed it.
Just before the Easter egg hunt they got the cousins together for a picture. They are sure a cute group!
Debbie, Josh and the boys left right after the cousin's picture.
The kids are checking out their Easter baskets after the Easter egg hunt.
Josie was so much fun to watch. She handled the steps on the deck without having any problems.
The adults are lined up to be put into egg hunting teams by Cathy. The kids got to hide the adults eggs.
Bob was busy taking lots of pictures also.
The adult eggs contained items that the teams had to make into a scene. The scene had to be about Easter and tell a story. James was on team one and found three eggs.
Michelle was on this team which I believe is team two. When they were finished they had to tell and explain their story to the kids who were the judges.
I believe this is team three making their Easter bunny story.
After all the teams had told the judges their story the judges went around the corner and made their decision about who won. Then they came back and Bridget told who the winners were.
Team one was the winner with their story about the Easter Boss.
The egg roll was the next event and the Easter Boss is explaining the rules
There was so many people that it had to be split into two groups. Once enough were eliminated the two groups formed into one.
There are some really intense expressions as they take winning pretty seriously. Rick was the winner of the Egg Roll.
Michelle is helping Cathy pass out eggs for the raw egg toss down on Dan and Robin's driveway. I posted a video of the first few throws on Facebook if you want to hunt it up.
There were teams going out on just about every throw.
This may have been the last throw. Julie and Kevin were the winners.
Bakery
4-19-2022 A new bakery is opening in Castle Rock. We went down this morning and picked up breakfast. Everything turned out to be great. Vera had the apple Danish, she said it as delicious. I had the apple fritter and a cream horn. The apple fritter was great, the cream horn had a custard filling which is different from what Huson's used.
I got ambitious this afternoon and got the cascara cut up so I could pull the rhodendron upright. Several roots got broken off so I am hoping it will survive. Those chunks of the cascara are really heavy, James came up on Wednesday, loaded them into the garden trailer. Then we took them to the compost pile and he unloaded them. It may take a few years but they will rot away.
The plum tree will be the next thing we pull back up. It's roots look in much better shape that the rhodendron so I feel pretty good about it surviving. I have also been working on the P-40 Warhawk when the weather is bad and the next post will probably be about it.
