A Quick Trip through the month of April

We are just now trying to get organized for our trip.  As is normally the case, we drift slowly towards our travel dates and suddenly find that we have a matter of weeks left before we leave!  As we have now cruised through April, we now have only three weeks before flying out on May 21st.  Somewhat understated, the month of April has been quite eventful.......and a somewhat circuitous adventure to get our planning into its final stages.  Below are just a few reflections on our adventures!

The month now starts with a little more than April Fools Day........as Courtney's birthday was April 1st, Benny's #1 was April 6th and Parker's #3 was April 8th........a week of celebrations for the Winchester Crowell's!

This year Easter was on April 9th.  We had a great family gathering and brunch at Alex and Caroline's.........a great occasion to have everyone together! and a crazy hunt for the Easter Eggs!

and guess who went to Texas for school vacation and an Iron Man Race?

And then we had our annual 'brush' bonfire out back.........quite a blaze!

Getting ready for spring in the greenhouse!

And Parker has started her career as a Gourmet Cook!
