The last few days have been gorgeous spring days. Yesterday, I took my boys (Max and Morrison) on a hike near the location of the <a href="http://practicaledtech.com/2013/04/08/come-to-the-practical-ed-tech-summer-camp/" target="_blank">Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp</a>. They had a great time on the trails and Max enjoyed splashing in the pond at the top of the mountain. Wherever you are this weekend, I hope that you get some time to relax and enjoy doing your favorite things. We're about to head out for another hike, but first here's the list of the most popular posts of the week. <br/><br/><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Here are this week's most popular
