The day before Easter we met up with my parents and my sister and her kids at Yuba Reservoir. We had a barbecue picnic. We all brought our own things to barbecue then shared side dishes. Josh and I barbecued shrimp kabobs, brussels sprouts kabobs and portabello mushrooms.
After we ate, we had a couple of Easter egg hunts around our picnic spot. The kids also had fun flying some little mini kites that we brought. It was a fun day! The only down side was that Quinn ended up coming down with a fever and wasn't feeling very good. :(
Isaac and Parker were sitting on a blanket eating lunch when all of a sudden, Isaac jumped up. A little scorpion had decided to join their picnic! It was kind of cool to see it since you don't see scorpions everyday. Luckily we saw it before it stung anyone though!
That night after we got back, Quinn's fever was quite bad and we couldn't get it to go down for anything. It was scary! We called everyone we could think of and finally found one neighbor who could come over and help Josh administer a Priesthood blessing on Quinn. We eventually
got the fever to go down to a less scary level.
We did finally get around to helping the kids dye some Easter eggs.
Even little Quinn got to dye one before he went to sleep. Poor guy.
On Easter Sunday, Quinn was still pretty sick. Josh and the other boys were able to
go to church, but I ended up staying home with Quinn and taking him to InstaCare. It was a bad virus.
Despite everything, we were thankful to be together celebrating the resurrection of our Saviour.
