Josh built a cucumber trellis for me this year.  It worked great.  This is when the cucumbers first started growing. They did cover much of the trellis. We grew tomatoes, cucumbers, and sugar snap peas.

Easter was pretty brief this year.  We had to leave our Branson Mansion that morning, so we didn't even end up going to church.  I bought all new clothes for the boys, but we thought we were doing a sunrise service on that morning with Grandpa and that no one was planning to go to church.  So, we didn't bring church clothes and then realized we were the lame ones of the bunch, bc lots of the family did go and the sunrise service was actually a saturday morning activity.  So, instead we spent the morning looking for Easter baskets and eating candy with Sollis kids.  Then we packed up way too slowly to the chagrin of others and finally got on the road back to San Antonio.  When we got home, we still had eggs in the fridge, so we just had to make Easter egg  nests and hide eggs.
