Easter

 How was Easter for us?  Well, we didn't take many pictures apparently!

 There was an Easter event at the District building.  Rylee is the only one left in Primary, but Delaney and Callie attended as helpers.

The kids got their Easter baskets and after church the kids brought this out for me!  Josh had driven them to the commissary to shop for goodies and they secretly made Dan and I baskets!  Are they not the best?!!

And Rylee got this chick and promptly had to make som accessories for it.  And now it is immortalized forever on the Internet.

Levi

 Levi is one handsome dog.

 Everyone recognizes him and loves him.

Everyone at the dog park likes to play with him because he get along with all the other dogs. 

And he was happy to take  selfie with us. 

 Oh yes.  Did I mention he got his Spring haircut?  Yes, he did.

He looks like a completely different dog, doesn't he!

Kintai? Oh yes, Kintai!

You know I love Kintai.  And I love Cherry Blossoms.  We managed to catch the very end of Sakura Season with our trip, so we went to see the last of the blossoms.  There were still some lovely flowers and my heart was happy.

See, my beautiful bridge!

Blossoms and the Iwakuni Castle.

It is just so Japanese and I love it!

Be still my heart! 

Rylee and I and the Sakura.

Bridge from a slightly different angle!

Me and my favorite cherry blossom trees.

Just because it is pretty.

Me and the Bridge.

A not very good picture of Rylee and the bridge.  But it is the only one I got!

Back to the Kuni Cove

With the three older girls at Girls Camp over Spring Break, Rylee and I decided to try to Space A too Iwakuni.  It took us two tries to get out on a flight, and I'm so glad we did!!

Rylee was bored. 

She was also fairly self entertaining. 

We did spend 5 hours in the airport on Wednesday.  (Only 2 hours there on Tuesday, but that ended with a "sorry, zero seats were released for this flight".)  I don't know why it took so long, but we waited and waited.  Then they said yes, we were on the flight, but we had to wait.  Usually they process you through and you wait after security, but this time we waited and waited and waited with our luggage.  Then, at 3pm suddenly they wanted us to check through and they walked us right out the door after security and onto the plane.  This throws off my game because I always need one last bathroom stop and I need to buy a drink for the flight.  Not this time!

We were on a C-12

It was pretty cool.  We sat on the jump seats.

Rylee is standing in between the two rows on seats.  Netting for the backs- not horribly uncomfortable, but when one moves, they all move!

She's being silly as we wait to go.

I did not get a lot of photos.  We hung out with my awesome friend Steph and it was a nice low-key visit.  On Thursday we binge-watched "Project Runway, and went to Sako's (the amazing BLT shop), and chatted a lot.

We visited a new bakery that had macarons and Rylee was delighted.

We went to all my favorite thrift stores and saw some fun stuff. I may have added to my kimono collection.

We had a good time!

Girls Camp!

 Marian, Callie and Delaney all went to Girls Camp this year.  They hold it during Spring Break here because it is too stinking hot to have it in the summer.  As it was, the weather was warm enough to be slightly uncomfortable at night.  Marian had a good time, Callie said it was fantastic, and Delaney was unimpressed.

Marian is old enough that she's a YCL and went up to Camp a day early.  She went out on Monday morning.  This was my forced selfie before she left.  And here are all the photos that other people were kind enough to send me!  (Dan went up Thursday night to be the Priesthood holder present and he carpooled kids home Friday morning.)
