Our computer was in the shop, yet again, getting a key fixed that had popped off. It seems like there is always something preventing us from having a computer in the house!!
So, I will take you back in time a little bit to catch you up on some of the fun things we've been up to in England. For Easter, we took the girls to a children's Easter Egg Hunt on base.

We had a lot of fun on Easter, even though for the SECOND year in a row, our Easter baskets were boxed up because of a move. Maybe next year we will get to use them...
Near the end of April there was another holiday celebrated here in England: St. George's Day. St. George is the patron saint of England. Very few facts are actually known about him but he is said to have been a Roman soldier who became a Christian martyr when he was executed for not obeying the Emperor's order to offer sacrifices to the roman gods of the time. However, St. George is more famously known for slaying the evil dragon and rescuing the damsel in distress. Even though this is probably more metaphorical than historical, he is still celebrated by people dressing up and slaying a dragon. This is how we celebrated St. George's day!

| Wrest Park was completely changed to look like we had stepped back in time! |
 |
| She was a pretty good shot too! |

 |
| Real jousting! |
We feel so blessed to have this opportunity to live in a new place and to experience lots of different things. We miss and love our family dearly and hope that this helps share part of our journey with them.
