7 y/o climbed the cherry tree and played on the swing set.
10 y/o chased the younger ones around the yard on her electric scooter.
12 y/o mainly shot baskets a taught the others some basketball.

Seems like just yesterday I was swinging them in my arms inside the house.
Now the 12 y/o stands not quite 5'11" barefoot and has a higher reach than I do (at 6'2").

Weather's getting warmer, Lake Powell will start rising, and vacation starts in June (and lasts for 5 weeks!).
Trying to make the time count; children grow up fast.

Feel very blessed to live when, where, and how I do.

Great stuff.
