As I alluded to in my last post, we spent a couple of days this weekend enjoying God’s creation and the company of good friends. We were invited to their land, about 2 hours southeast of Austin. While we were there, we enjoyed s’mores, hunted for Easter eggs, played cards, hunted for turtles, and cooked out. I also enjoyed taking some photos, but as usual, I wish I’d taken more. When will I ever learn that you just can’t take too many photos?

It must have been all the rain we got in the fall — the bluebonnets were spectacular!

Since my family refused to pose in the sea of blue for a photo, I found this cooperative longhorn who agreed to pose for me instead.

It was great for the kids to just be able to kick back and relax…

I’ve always been fascinated with cows, so I enjoyed taking photos of the many that were wandering around.

The boys found these spiderwebs the morning we left.

Happy Easter!

We dyed eggs the Wednesday before Easter since we were going out of town on Thursday and weren’t coming back until Saturday. I didn’t want the pressure of having to do it on Saturday. The dyeing went fine. I think it was the first time nobody spilled a cup of dye. However, what was more memorable about that afternoon was the spontaneous paper Easter bunnies that the kids made while I was cleaning up the egg dyeing mess. I just love it when they come up with an idea on their own, work together, and make it happen.

And here are the completed bunnies. They took them to school Thursday and gave them to their teachers.
