and more











we had a great time down in Florida. I now have 3 little cowboys and a little cowgirl after getting to see the rodeo. They loved watched the bull-riding and calf-roping. At the playground, C said he wouldn't "barrel ride bc that's for cowgirls." K was so excited to get to ride in the parade with Papa- a great surprise for all of us. Nana and the rest of us were watching the parade and saw Firetruck #3 with K & Papa go by. How fun! We also got to see Nana's friend's 25 chickens- the boys picked up a dozen eggs which they dyed for Easter. We also got to see & pet sweet baby goats. The one in the picture is about the same size as our little girl. Then enjoyed our first mulberries out at Becky's and watched hummingbirds. A great trip!

We left Tuesday to drive back north. We saw some of the damage to Fayetteville from the tornado but also got to see and hear some of the good stories of families and churches helping each other. It was great to get to spend some time with really good friends from NC before heading back to MD. We got home and had good weather so we decided on a last minute camping trip. We are so excited to have great camping and hiking places so close. We went to Patapsco State Park- just about 20 minutes from our house- and had a great trip. Thursday we went to the tire park, hiked to the swinging bridge & Union Dam, set up camp, had a rodeo at the playground, and enjoyed yummy dinner including hot chocolate & camping cherry pie. All fun- except the sleeping- KG and T weren't sure they were happy about sleeping in a tent. Friday we hiked to the water fall and then headed home to have a warm lunch.
