Zoo time!

Christian's friend, Nathaniel, from school asked if we could all go to the Atlanta Zoo together over spring break. His mom is a member and had several free tickets for us three to use. I was not too impressed with the zoo. It was small, but loads of fun. They had a train ride there as well (not free like the Portland Zoo - one of my favs). Christian also wanted to try to climb the rock wall. He's never attempted this before, nor has he even had the desire to do so. But he did and was pretty successful. I was proud of him even if he did not make it to the top.

Easter

Thanks to Aunt Christie the kids were stylin' for Easter.

Cute and sweet photo
The church we are attending had four services last year with over 5,000 in attendance, therefore, they suggested we, 11am Sunday attenders, choose a different time. So we decided to go to church on Saturday evening. It was so different, but an amazing service. They took secular artists like Usher, Creed, Matchbox 20, Van Halen, Brad Paisley, and others to share the story of Jesus. I was curious how they were going to do this, but it turned out great and we enjoyed the experience. The kids had the Easter story told on their grade level, an Easter egg hunt, and bouncy house.
On Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt and then made a ham dinner with all the fixin's and invited our neighbors over. I hope your Easter was blessed as well!
Love the confused looks
