Reasons I love Easter break:

Bonding over life philosophies and poetry while carpooling!

Sleeping in my own bed

Home-made pancakes w/ real maple syrup

Redecorating

Listening to Meglet's latest musical inspiration

Jumping rope and double dutch w/ Mom and sisters

Driving!

Bonding with Dad over authors like Peter Jenkins

Listening to stories about Mom and Dad's wilderness honeymoon

Traditional Saturday fire-wooding (I never thought I'd say that :)

Surprising Turtle with the video camera

Long environmental/theological discussions w/ Mom

Watching "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" with the fam (surprising lack of scoffing:)

Church family!

Turtle and Mom leading worship

Impromptu dancing w/ Meglet and talking "Little Women"

Playing "Clue" and "Befuzzled"(laughing till our stomachs hurt as we all tried to do different motions at once)

Arm wrestling Turtle
