Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
Last night, we were both craving chocolate, so I broke open my surprise for Sailor and got out the Bliss chocolate eggs by Hershey's. mmmm
Today as he made breakfast, he colored these eggs. They are raw, but he just wanted to surprise me. How cute is that???
That is about the extent of our Easter, as far as special food or anything goes. Oh he did purchased a spiral ham and baked it. He has already deboned it and is cooking the bone for borscht.

We watched General Conference Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, Sailor worked on his sail. That is his sewing machine. He purchased it last year from Wal Mart for $80. I am so amazed how well he has done on this sail. Notice how he holds the foot pedal in his left hand and feeds the sail cloth through with both hands. What coordination!
Note the television in the background. We discovered that channel 5-3 (usually the weather channel) had a person who translated Conference into ASL. It was so fun to watch their expressions as they translated.

Tonight we noticed some Very Large birds in our neighbor's back yard tree. These trees are 80 feet tall, to give you an idea how large these birds are.


 Sailor got out his dad's telescope. It is made so you can attach a camera. He was able to take some pictures with his 35mm camera. We took some digital pictures as well, which I am downloading.

 At first we thought they were vultures, then maybe just ravens, but when he got out the spotting scope, we could tell they were vultures! One had a much redder beak

I love how close Sailor's camera could get on this one.
Vultures for Easter??? We saw no Easter bunnies, we saw Easter Vultures. What's THAT??? Maybe we had better check the elderly man next door. . . is he still alive??? What are these birds doing in my neighbor's tree?

I hope you had a Happy Easter.
