Easter Weekend - Friday.

My parents and Greta came to spend Easter weekend with us. We were happy to see them, and had lots of fun, until poor Dad and Greta and Helaman got sick. Easter was kind of a dreary day at our house. But it was still really nice to be together.

It was kind of cool, and kind of disappointing because there was no one there to do a tour, so we just kind of wandered around and were overwhelmed by all the technical mumbo jumbo.

But we did see some missiles and bombs and airplanes. And it is always fun to hang out together.

It was really good for Helaman watching all the other kids be brave and strong, and by the end of the day he wanted to go where ever anyone else did.

At first they just stayed on top and then sat on a hole. The longer we were there the braver Helaman got, and he even let Grandpa take him down in the bottom of the ravines. I was so proud of him!

After that we went to the gardens at the Maturango Museum and then we tried to go to Ransburg, but everything there closes at 4 or the stragglers at 5. Since that didn't work out we drove to Victorville and went out to dinner at Olive Garden. We all had a great time!
