Easter Weekend
The kids were out of school on Friday so we headed down to see Chrissy. The boys spent the night and they had a wonderful time. They really enjoy Lizzie and Josh and Anna (Blake kept calling her Annaka) Today they went to Tangled on Ice and they said it was good. The girls and I enjoyed visiting with Chrissy yesterday and holding baby Blake. Anna was very fond of Lexi and had her playing with her the whole time. Morgan attempted to hold the baby and I was informed that I have done her a disservice by not having more children so that she could be comfortable with babies! She said I can't believe that in a few years they may actually let me walk out of a hospital with one! Today Rick did his annual Easter treasure hunt and he was a little melancholy as he reflected on years past and that this will be Morgan's last hunt with us. His clues reflected that this year.
Pay attention, get set to run
Scurry like a mouse
Through the Trails End house
Soon it will all be done
So go find our new pet cat
Feed him too much he’ll be fat
He’s hiding under ground
If it rains he might drown
Pass over him to get where were at
The last time you’ll run with each other
Be missing a girl, not a brother
She’ll be off in her dorm
We’ll miss her sweet form
Gone to school though the tears of her mother
Better treadmill lightly for stealth
And pump iron for good health
Help you last the years
Through funny and fears
To be fit is to have a great wealth
Next year it will be just three
Who will run to a nook or a tree
To seek out the clue
Figure out what to do
Find the truth it will set you free
Get started and put on your shorts
And choose your Olympic sports
Run through the grass
Don’t want to be last
Climb up to the last of the forts
So it looks like we wont move to far
Consider yourself a Lone Star
It seems a good fit
We’re here for a bit
Looks like Lexi girl might need a car
So I guess lets get ready and pack
Remember some food or a snack
Moving is tough
Life’s changes are rough
Get started you might need a sack
So this clue is special for Blake
Whose habit the thumby must brake
A great little guy
A kid who could fly
He’s plain awesome you make no mistake
Just think of the place you would go
Whether it’s up or below
From where you might holler
Or cast down a dollar
From there an airplane to throw
And this one is for Caden Vance
The kid has got moves, he can dance
His scriptures have power
Reads them by the hour
If you think you could beat him – no chance
To larp or Uncharted the same
This guy he can master the game
Seek you will find
Might look behind
Your prior conquests in the frame
And now we are at Lexi cheek
Who is sweet, and is true and is meek
There’s no better friend
Keeps going – no end
Its fun, food and friends she will seek
True to her self she will stick
A new smoothie that might do the trick
Look where she might sit
Or lower a bit
Hanging out watching a flick
Finally Morgan’s turn is here
It has been wonderful having her here
A true righteous delight
With academic might
Soon she will leave us I fear
Have no doubt that she will succeed
Soon on her own to be freed
We’ll miss her a lot
Might look to the spot
Where she follows her passion to read
It seems that life is so strange
The only true constant is change
Its time to explore
Move on and do more
And pray that you don’t get the mange
So off with you kids to the place
Find the next clue in this race
Ill give you a hint
Just brush off the lint
Empty your pockets just in case
With the right outfit your cool
You might make the other kids drool
Remember be nice
Full of sugar and spice
You can be humble or you are a fool
For a mystery you might look
For the light from the truest book
Ponder to feel
The spirit is real
From the One our sins he took
Soon we will have a new home
A new place to hang and to roam
New space to crash
New trim and sash
With comfort and cushions of foam
For now lets make use of this place
With a smile on your lips and your face
Stay nice and cool
With a dip in the pool
Or zip down the line in a race
That’s all folks, you are all done
But that is not all of the fun
You should all know
An I’ll tell you so
Why this race has been run
Its Easter - remember the reason
Why do we celebrate the season?
From the grave He did rise
His life was the prize
Let's live ours a way that is pleasing
