April 2015

April began with rediscovering playgrounds:

Jared designed this wind measuring instrument at school:

One of our friends hosted an Easter egg hunt:

Dad fashioned capes for Muffins who requested them:

Curtis got to go to a very bouncy birthday party:

Easter began with Easter baskets!

There was something for Mom, too:

We also had our annual Egg Fest:

One more view of our Easter stuff, including the lovely hyacinths Dad got for Mom before Easter:

Spring "officially" began in March, of course, but April flowers made it actually look a bit like spring:

Dad joined us at a playground one day:

Ben & Jerry's annual free ice cream day came . . . and we got some!

We visited some dinosaur tracks during spring break. Here are the Muffins checking out the beginning of a giant timeline we found.

Muffins with a big footprint:

Clarissa found some dinosaurs to play with:

There was also a "mining" activity for the Muffins to try:

Back at a park, Clarissa found a dinosaur to ride:

Spring break also included bubbles:

And more playground time:

Here's Clarissa with one of her special friends at the library (also pictured is one of her stuffed friends from home):

Curtis had some block adventures at the library in April:

Back in the great outdoors, Clarissa found a little play house:

Mom found more flowers, on trees this time:

We also found some Muffin ancestor graves in April, Aaron Munson Baldwin and his wife, Julia Bishop:

More April park adventures:

And, finally, more April flowers, just because they were there:
