Easter weekend was a pleasant time. The kids were out of school and we were missing having
a dog around, so we fostered a dog from the pound. He was a tough little critter.

The boys also had their pals, Isaac and Ethan over for some gaming. Actually, they had
Ethan's XBox over for gaming and Isaac and Ethan just happened to come with it.

Sunday, we went to church at the Salvation Army. Most of the folks at the Army church
are elderly and are really nice folks. We've made a number of friends there. Laura and
I get a kick from listening to their music group, the Songsters. After church, we took
our foster dog down to the beach to get him and the kids some outside time.

Monday was a day off from work and school. I had the great idea of heading up the
slopes of Mt Taranaki for a hike, however the weather at 3000 ft was cold and rainy, so
we shuffled back down and drove to Lake Rotorangi. I'd seen the lake from the air
during my flight training and wanted to see it from ground level. There wasn't much to
see, but we had a picnic and Jack took a turn on the rope swing.
