The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Andy is attempting everything he can think of to keep squirrels off our roof. Meet Orville Redenbacher!

Happy Easter! It was a quiet day for us. It started with cups of coffee for Andy and me while the kids dug through their Easter baskets. Laura’s basket was full of books.

John’s basket had a rainfly for his hammock and a new drive shaft for his Traxxas remote control car.

After a tasty breakfast of crepes, we spent most of the day relaxing. We did get out for a little bit as we took the kids over to Shelter Gardens for some pictures. These two sure do clean up well! Laura even insisted on wearing a dress.

We took a few individual pictures too.

Neither of the kids look like “littles” anymore.

The rest of the day was spent cooking and enjoying the outside. Who knew that we would actually be able to have Easter dinner outside on our deck?

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

One of John’s teammates, A.J. Seymour, made this picture. He edited a video that his mom took of John hitting his first home run of 2021. Look at those boys waiting for John to touch home plate!

It is time to introduce the kids to another baseball movie.

We visited the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis today. It was not a typical Kassel Family Spring Break trip, but you take what you can get sometimes.

We spent the day wandering through both the indoor and outdoor parts of the museum. Some of the cars on display were really impressive and unique!

I think that the Union Pacific “Big Boy” 4006 was one of the most impressive parts of the day. It is quite literally, huge.

We also spent a lot of time looking at the train track snow remover. Andy referred to it as the “Big, Spinny Wheel of Death.” There were foot marks on the side of the car that went up to about 8 feet high.

It was definitely a great way to spend the day, and both kids were appreciative of the trip. Maybe, we can take a real Spring Break trip in 2022!
