Easter Week was not exactly how we hoped it would be with Austin on the couch from Monday night - Thursday but he was well just in time for the cabin! Monday night, he had baseball practice and during the night, started throwing up. We had belly aches and not feeling well until Thursday. I was really hoping he would be well enough for his class Easter party on Thursday but had to stay home.
Mike and I had tickets to the Passover Seder meal at church on Wednesday night. Ashlyn and Austin were with Hadassah. The whole evening and meal and meanings of horseradish and dipping parsley in salt water and then eating it ... all circled around the Passover Meal! Songs were sung in Hebrew from a couple at church. Everything was so neat!
I was so glad to finally hear Austin ask for his baseball cards on Thursday morning! This stomach may just leave now!!!! He's on the mend and feeling much better!
Lena was at school for the Easter Parties and bought home the project that Austins class did! He was on it right away and it turned out so beautiful!!! Teaching the real meaning of Easter in our schools is something I value very much!!!! Jesus died. Was buried but rose again three days later! The grave is empty!!!! He's alive!!!!!!
Mom had the kids do an egg hunt and they laughed as they ran around the yard looking for colored eggs.
We eat so well at the cabin! Jody made a pizza dough and topped it with mayo, tomatoes and basil for a lunch snack. So good!
I really wanted to take the children up to the cross near the cabin! It's where we went often in the past years but the little littles didn't remember it. We drove the four wheeler and side by side up the path and there are stones along the way that describe the beatings and happenings of when Jesus was crucified!
So many cute faces all weekend!
Happy Easter!
