HE IS RISEN!

Happy Easter!

How blessed we are by God's perfect gift of Jesus who paid our debit so we
 could live forever with him.




Easter Egg time

We got back from our Gettysburg trip on Saturday before Easter but we had to make time to dye some eggs because JonJon had never dyed Easter eggs before.  I had dyed eggs with the daycare kids just a few days before and believe it or one 17 year old Ooney made more mess dying eggs than all 8 of my daycare kids put together :)
 All ready to go

 Working so intently

 One cream cushion now orange like an Easter egg
And a beautiful finish

Gettysburg via the bike

I took off Good Friday and the Monday after Easter this year from the daycare so we decided go to Gettysburg camping for two nights (or cabining since it is only April) so Ooney and JonJon  would cook some hot dogs over the fire and experience some of what camping is about.


We stayed in a cabin designed for 6 people so you would think it would allow for 6 hot showers right?  I took a cold shower Thursday night and when we inquired about the hot water the next day we found out the cabin only had a 6 gallon hot water heater :)  So needless to say some got a beginning of a hot shower and the rest of us had to walk to the campground bathrooms.

J wanted to bike around many of the Gettysburg attractions....sounds like fun and it was but did we ever bike.  I think we probably biked between 15 and 20 miles.  It was a beautiful day though and very memorable.

 Outside of the visitor center making sure President Lincoln stayed hydrated since he has to sit in the hot sun all day.
 Our $70plus dollar lunch  - all I could do was laugh when the said the total

 Yes that is a Hi-C twist tied onto Carrots Tandem bike
 J and JonJon stopping to consult the map
 At the top of the lookout tower - it was really high.  Lots of conversations walking down about "we would still die from this level, I think at this level we would just break out legs.......very amusing.
