The month flew by and I can't believe it's almost summer! 



After missing her sewing and woodworking classes last month, Gv was excited to create something again. This was her fishing pole holder.


This year's family Easter photo. I know, I know, I wear this dress every year, but I've just decided it's my Easter dress and only wear it then!


Gv's best friend has an ah-mazing backyard that even has its own zipline! We can't believe she did it, but she had a blast!


We had a fun day with our friends at the zoo before it gets too hot to venture outdoors in these parts!

Our awesome library also offers museum passes, so we got to spend time in our favorite glass museum for free:
