April FHE

WEEK 1: Spring Break. We were in Oregon visiting "Man Camp" and then hit the pool at the hotel that night.

WEEK 2: I've never figured out how to have your house and yard stay the same during vacations. It seems we always come home to a lot of work that needs to be done, especially weeding. For dinner we had Dutch oven potatoes and then commenced an attack on the weeds. The neighbors/cousins looked out their window and decided we were having too much fun and joined us. Misery loves company, right? Afterwards we enjoyed some leftover Lemon Poke Cake from our Easter dinner at Grandma Laura's. 

WEEK 3: Mama Bear wasn't feeling terribly great, so we got out our buzzer game and played some quick trivia games that included questions from General Conference. Prizes were won and we are loving our Eggspert. 

WEEK 4: Nate was in charge and wanted to go for a bike ride. So we headed down to the only park we have here in Lake Point and played on the equipment, pulled some weeds, and played catch.

WEEK 5: I have felt an urgent need to get our food storage/72-hour kits/emergency essential up to par. I used to do so well and I've let things slide the last couple of years. Not that we've been occupied with other things lately :) So tonight we pulled out the 72-hour kits and took stock of what we needed to replenish and put them back together somewhat. Our 72-hour kits are basically our backpacking gear. I try to keep most stuff in there because it's rather easy to transport. But that means stuff gets taken out and not put back in when we go on backpacking trips.
