This is a closer view.
Now for the question: Does anyone want some? I thought so. Mom is currently driving to Utah with lots of wonderfully tasty lemons. There is also a bag of oranges from John and Becky's back yard. They are perfectly ripened right now and taste really good.Sam, Jack and Stori have been visiting with us for over a week now and we have had lots of fun. We did not take any photos until Friday evening when we lots of family over to celebrate Jack and Stori’s 10th birthday. For the birthday dinner, the kids helped put together the menu. We had steak, grilled squash slabs, corn on the cob, salad and blue Jell-O. These are some of the photos at the birthday party.
Stori likes playing with Rocky and Rocky likes her and anyone else that will play with him.
Jack spends a lot of time with his new Legos.
Yesterday (Saturday) I took Sam and Jack to Almaden Lake Park. In addition to the typical playground for little children, they have one for ages 6-12 with some cool climbing structures that the older kids enjoyed. .
Sam and Jack were able to get the swings going pretty high. 
Sam really enjoyed jumping out of the swing. Jack enjoyed it, but not as much as Sam
After we left the park, we went up into the mountains close by for a hike. The trail head is 8.5 miles from our house by road and 6 miles in a straight line. At the beginning of the trail, there is a sign warning about mountain lions and bobcats. The sign said that where there are dear and other animals to eat, there will be mountain lions. The first thing we say was 5 wild turkeys and then we say a deer. After seeing the photos and reading about mountain lions, Sam was whacking two rocks together. I asked him if it was to scare off the mountain lions. He said yes. I asked him if he saw "The Parent Trap" he said yes. I told him that it does not work. I told Sam and Jack that the best way to protect against mountain lions is to stay together in a group and do not go off on your own. They stayed within about 4 feet of me the rest of the hike, even when I was jogging. We saw a bobcat while driving home, but no mountain lion.
The next morning (today) is Easter. Here are the kids with Easter baskets and dressed for church.
After Church we fixed ham, cheesy potatoes, asparagus, carrots for dinner. For desert we had boysenberry pie and ice cream. The kids declined the pie and only had ice cream. Mark, Mom and I really enjoyed the pie and vanilla ice cream.
After dinner, we had an Easter egg hunt in the back yard. I believe the kids had a good time. They asked if they could do another Easter egg hunt a couple of hours later.
They have been gone from their Mom and Dad for 9 days now and they are ready to go home on Tuesday morning.
In the first batch of photos Joseph sent, there was a video of him chopping open a coconut with a machete. Now several months later, he has improved his machete skills considerably. It was interesting to note in a recent letter that a missionary was injured while chopping open a coconut.
