Easter is always a fun family time with egg hunts and games for the young and old(er) alike. The weather threatened to rain but it held long enough for the outdoor hunt for the two grandkids that were around which is always fun.
Nathan and Jason couldn't wait to hit the road and start looking for eggs.
The older the child the harder it is to find the eggs. "Hot and cold" usually helps everyone.
Some of the "eggs" are sport eggs and some are other novel things. They are all fun.
Nathan had the joy of finding the "big golden egg" this year and boy was he eggcited!!
Counting up the loot and seeing what you got is always a fun mess.
Nathan actually got a gold egg. I hope the giant from Jack and the Bean Stock doesn't come looking for it!
Memor has to have new toys for the kids so this was the new teeter tooter.
We have to play games at Easter and here is Matt helping Jason to play one of the games.
This year singing was a requirement for the groups looking to win Easter goodies. Nathan gets to lead this one.
Jason gets to lead the singing on this team.
April is also Doctor Appreciation Day and Marianne is alway so good at making everyone feel special. This year they were all Oscar award winners for their service to the patients! Great group of health providers.
Tilder Park became a tempting attration with some great weather so off we went. This was our first trip there and the boys really enjoyed the outing.
Nathan and Jason are waiting for the train to arrive for our trip through the redwoods.
All aboard!!
Chugging through the trees on a beautiful sunny day.
After the train ride we had to go to the old carousel and enjoy a ride or two there.
Then it was off to the animal farm to see what was there. Moooooooooooooo!
Quack, Honk, and all the other sounds!
Nathan making sure the stem is long enough to keep his distance.
Of course Jason has to follow what Nathan did and fee the goats.
The boys are climbers and enjoyed the fence line.
How high can you climb
Pair on the fence.
One more thing to climb on and in.
Helping or hindering? Good questions
Of course after the carousel and the farm animals we had to go back and do one more train ride!!
The boys wanted to ride in the boxcar instead in the open car. Another fun loop.
The Jarman family moved to Utah many years ago from Pleasanton. We have enjoyed visits with various family members over the years but this time Laura and Darryl and the whole family came to visit. I was great to see them all again.
Rosie, Kristin, Andrea and Jason.

Who can really do this hoop/rope game.
This month Tom came to hold a fireside with our HP quorum. He and Liz enjoyed the visit back to Pleasanton and we enjoyed having them here as well. It was a great meeting and visit.
The quorum meeting had a dinner and then the meeting. It was a great night together.
During April we always have a mission reunion. I have never gone but saw this picture of some of the missionaries that I served with that did go. I am sure this was a much older group than the ones I served with!!!!
