April 2015~by Beth

This year Easter was on April 5th.  We always begin the day looking for our Easter baskets.  This year even Jon got one.

 During the week that followed Stephen and I finished his phonics program and moved on to English.

Later during the month we had our annual boating trip with our friends, the Van Vurens.  We boated out near Shell Point Village to fish, eat some lunch and swim by a sand bar. We even had a manatee swim up to the boat and check us out.  That was quite a thrill.

After arriving back at the dock, we all went swimming in the pool.

 During this month we also played many soccer games.  Our boys team was co-ed so had some of our big girls play on it.  They were knocked out in the tournament, but our girls' team took 2nd place.

This game was actually played on May 2nd, but it completes the soccer season.  Now we will be looking forward to David's high school graduation and our annual trip to our conference and visit with family.
