This isn't my pokeball; it's too red.  (4/3/26)

A lovely shade of pale green.  (4/3/26)

Lee ponders the toy from his kinder-egg, and Lane discovers the egg filled with tiny duckies.  (4/4/26)

Lee fills eggs with froot loops for the egg hunt, and Daniel just has a bowl of froot loops.  (4/4/26)

Lee jokes about adding milk to the froot loop eggs, and Daniel plays along.  (4/4/26)

The ground cover is unusually thick...  (4/4/26)

And the adults hid eggs in harder places.  (4/4/26)

The kids take a break between the first and second egg hunt.  (4/4/26)

Some of the eggs are down low.  (4/4/26)

Tree standing.  (4/12/26)

Lee wants us to get a hammock.  When asked what he would even do with a hammock at this time of year when everything is wet, he says, "A slingshot... for pineapples."  (4/12/26)
