Jim and I enjoyed attending Tori's ward. Besides benefiting from the messages taught, we made a connection with a friend of an acquaintance of ours and briefly visited with my cousin, Becky (whom I haven't seen for 25 years), who also attends that ward. What a great way to start the day! We came home to lunch and the grand Easter egg dying activity--Owen's first.
His dad showed him how to put the eggs carefully into the cups of dye.
Soon all the cups contained an egg and, before we could stop him, Owen started fishing those eggs out of the dye with his fingers.

After retrieving all the eggs, Owen began playing a matching game. He'd return a colored egg to the cup containing the same color of dye.
I think Owen could have played that game all day but nap time put an end to it.
Later that afternoon, we took Jacob to the airport in a torrential downpour. Thankfully I wasn't driving! When we got back to Tori and Ryan's house, we learned that a tornado warning had been posted for the area in which they live. That made us a little nervous. Some of us even went in the master bedroom closet for a few minutes but no tornadoes ever touched down.
The next and final day of our visit was cool and rainy. One of Owen's friends had a birthday party that morning and I got to tag along. Unfortunately, we were late and missed the Easter egg hunt. We did get to enjoy lunch, visiting with some really nice people and the grandparent's home in which the party was held--a lushly landscaped and beautifully decorated estate on the river. I especially loved having the chance to meet many of Tori's and Owen's friends!
