After church on Easter Sunday, we had lunch with the Cuban and Brazilian Shalalas. Then we went swimming, played golf, and talked about coconuts a lot. Fortunately several coconuts washed up on the shore of the inlet, and one had milk in it.

Kids got easter baskets and we went to church near Miami U with Grandma Diane. Grandpa Farmer Bob was sick :-(

Kids were off on Good Friday, so Sara took them to the city. The cherry blossoms were blooming in our old neighborhood. In addition to some artistic pictures, I found this more entertaining one ...

A cool blustery Sunday was perfect for some odd jobs around the yard.
A large branch partially broke over the winter. After spending thousands on tree removal earlier this winter, we figured it was time to risk life and limb to save a few bucks.

Doug, Sara, RJ, and RJ's friend Milo moved the trampoline to a new location. It's tempting to move it a bit closer to the shed for a "roof jump."

To help Mr. Tom's landscaping guys, I moved the junk pile a few feet into our yard. In the process I uncovered a sleeping turtle who was at the bottom of the pile in the dirt. Once waking from hibernation (or more accurately brumation) he poked his head out ... and in a few hours burrowed back under to sleep some more. The bad news is that the critter is sleeping on some high quality dirt needed for planting asparagus.

Great job Sara getting pre-release FREE tickets to Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Doug and RJ were bummed about the conflict with soccer.
Congrats to our Liftie friends who start distributing through REI next ski season. Hopefully they will use this pictures for some of their marketing material! Grandpa Farmer Bob's old ski is in the lower left.
