Chris Greene Lake, lambs and Egypt reunion

As we were driving home from school one day we were admiring the fun popcorn trees and talking about the nice weather when I decided we should stop by Chris Greene Lake and enjoy the nice spring day. As we drove by the lake to the trail we saw a cute little sail boat out on the lake. It was breezy and it looked like a fun outing.  We enjoyed our little hike together and stopped by the dock to watch the sail boat.  It was so nice to be outside.  After the dock we stopped by the playground for a little bit and then hiked down a trail to the lake.  A woman was walking her dog and I asked her if the path made a loop around the lake and she said it did so I hope we can explore it soon. 

In keeping with the Spring theme we stopped by our good friends the Farnsworth's house to meet their adorable lambs.  They just got three baby lambs and they are really sweet.  It was fun to pet them and see them running around. Super cute. Lydia enjoyed the lambs and then had fun playing with Abigail. Jared did meet the lambs but was much more into exploring their property with Joseph and Peter. Our daffodils have also started blooming which we are excited about. We were not so successful in Colorado and weren't sure if there would be enough sunlight here but they are growing really well and it makes me really happy. 

We had plans today to attend an egg drop/hunt (they literally dropped 15,000 eggs from a helicopter!) in a nearby county but sadly had to leave before the eggs were dropped so we could attend a baptism. Jared and Lydia did enjoy the bounce houses/inflatables there but it was so cold! I was sad to miss the egg drop but we can try it again next year. After the baptism we drove to the temple to meet up with one of our favorite families from our Egypt days, the Barton's. They just got back from Ukraine and are moving out to Utah. He just retired from working at USAID for the last almost 30 years they lived in some exciting places and we lived getting to know them in Egypt. We really admire this family and were so happy to meet up with them.  We had plans to go to a nearby garden center but it was raining and pretty cold so we visited there for awhile and then went out to eat.  I am sure if we are ever out in Utah we will meet up with them again.
