EASTER
Easter morning!
Brooklyn with Thomas' Easter bunny
Audrey had to spend Easter with a mask on because she was sick.
The teens only got a few snacks for their Easter present, but what they were really excited about was a new speaker and karaoke machine.
Two bunnies ready to hunt for eggs!
They liked their Easter egg pancakes
The girls had a fun Easter egg hunt with the neighborhood kids.
CAMPS
Nathan had Young Men's camp over spring break at Torri beach. They decided to dig a giant hole.
The girls had a great experience at Young Women's camp. Both Abby and Maddy served as YCLs this year.
FAMILY OUTING
We spent a day exploring the northern part of the island with friends.
Ogimi Falls
Daisekirinzan is our favorite Okinawa hike so far. It had it all—cool trees to climb, vines to swing from, interesting rock formations, awesome views, and friends to share it with.
Okinawa Rail observation deck
Cape Hedo was beautiful and impressive
We spent the evening on the beach, and enjoyed an impressive bonfire (before we were told we had to put it out).
WORKMAN PLAYPLACE
The girls had a blast at a fun indoor playground at the mall near our house.
ST PATRICK'S DAY
The girls made leprechaun traps.

SPRING CONCERT
Abby performed on the flute, including a flute solo.
Abby also accompanied the orchestra club.
Nathan did a great job performing with the choir.

SISTERS
Audrey was super sweet and made this cute little dog stuffed animal out of an old sock for Brooklyn.

We had a lot of sickness this month. Poor Brooklyn got strep, pneumonia, and an ear infection.
