The kids put in artwork, photography and treats (Max a chocolate brownie concoction and Lucy a lemon cake).  Max got 1st place on several items and Lucy won (her 2nd) Best in Show purple ribbon for her storybook. 

A few days later, Lucy and best friend Emma went back to the Fair, this time for Lucy’s early birthday celebration.  Lucy had saved up her own money for ride wristbands for herself and Emma.  I was blessed with a free wristband later in the day, and so the 3 of us got to ride some bigger rides (like the Tilt A Whirl).  Lots of happy screaming!

EASTER!

We had a whirlwind of a wonderful day.  Toby sang and signed in the first-ever Reality Church Gospel Choir, at our SB City College outdoor service (with 8000 attending!).  We brought 2 of our exchange students, Jade and Kathy, and had boys Jorden and Ben Dokolas visiting from Bakersfield too.  Auntie Kelly, Uncle Ray and Toby’s college buddy Val met us at the service as well.  Full house!  We concluded the day with the always-wonderful Easter late lunch at Gma and Gpa Seal’s house, complete with egg hunt and lots of treats.
