"The next day, we woke to the first day of spring weather after the long winter season. The small yellow, purple, and white flowers are starting to pop out of the ground. Dionne was asked to speak in sacrament meeting on the subject of Charity at the last minute and needed some quiet time to work on her talk, so I drove the boys down to Conisbrough castle outside of Doncaster for the afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon at the castle. We ate a picnic lunch on the green lawn under the view of the large 97-foot high circular keep. After lunch the boys run did their customary running around and climbing on the stone walls before we climbed to the top of the Earl’s Keep. Isaac quickly darted up the spiraling staircase and I held Luke’s hand as he climbed, repeating “big step, small step, big step” and so on. We were treated to a grand view of the surrounding town and countryside."
