Easter weekend fell at the beginning of Spring Break this year, and the Easter Bunny remembered to stop by our house:
We watched online church outside on the porch, and Millie seemed enamored with the Praise Band:
Dying Easter eggs is still a fun activity for L&L, despite this completely teenage face that Luke is giving the camera:
Leah was invited to several egg hunts with friends in the week leading up to Easter, and her basket always seemed to be overflowing with eggs:
We canceled our Spring Break trip to the Grand Canyon (AGAIN!), and will hopefully reschedule when Mommy is well. Instead, we drove to Grandpa's house in SC and had a great few days there. On Tuesday, we took the kids to the Broadway Grand Prix Family Race Park for a day of go karts and mini golf:
This was the first time that Leah has been old enough to ride in a go kart by herself, and she cracked us up with her fearless driving. Here she is, smoking the rest of the competition, and leading the entire pack:

| Mini golf. |
Luke's 14th birthday was Wednesday of Spring Break week, and it was fun to open presents at Grandpa's house:
 |
| Chocolate cake for our choco-holic! |
We took our birthday boy to Top Golf for a morning of golf games, and went to the beach in the afternoon. Not a bad way to spend your birthday!
On Thursday, we took a day trip to Charleston. We rode the ferry to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired:
The U.S.S. Yorktown is docked in the Charleston Harbor, and is a legendary WWII aircraft carrier that participated in 3 wars. The kids' great-grandfather was the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Yorktown during the Pueblo Crisis in the Korean War, and it was special for us to see this ship in person:
We walked through the Charleston City Market, ate lunch outside, and took a guided horse-drawn carriage tour of the city's charming historic district:
Such a fun Easter/Birthday/Spring Break week!
