Cascade springs where the water stays warm year round from natural hot springs.
We had a beautiful Easter Sunday. The sun was
shining beautiful on the mountains. We went to
church and had a spiritual time with the easter
talks that we heard and teaching my sunday school
class.
I recieved a beautiful easter story for kids from a dear friend
named Carol whom I taught primary in Md. with
It was about Jesus from birth to his ressurection with
beautiful pages. The children seemed to like it very much.
Then we went on a journey with a map starting at the doors
that lead outside. The first clue was the doors with a picture
of Jesus standing at the door and knocking. We read the scripture
then looked at our map for the next clue which led us outside to
the lamp post which had a picture of Jesus being the light of the
world. We then went over to the basketball hoops which overlook the
field with horses.The children looked up at the sun and then the picture was
the sun to represent the son of god with it's scripture. Next
was the map showing the direction of the pavillion where picnic tables
are. It had a picture of the sacrament to represent Jesus and the
last supper. On to the next stop which was a mountain of snow to represent
the tomb with a picture of the tomb with the stone rolled away and it's
scripture. Then the next stop was through the gates of the school with a
picture of entering through the gate with scripture then to the school doors
that had a picture of Jesus returning. Then the last stop was the highest place
which was the sliding board to represent He has risen and a Joyful time where
they found some easter treats and picture of Jesus second coming. Thank you to
my dear husband John for helping me by putting up the pictures and watching the
kids as we were outside. After church we went to Wendy's house for Easter dinner
and a fun time with the grandkids. My tradition ever since my kids were little
was to hide eggs with money and candy and two gold eggs that had the most money
in them. I would like an egg hunt like that myself. Last year Tyler found the
most money but this year Abby was in for the running. I guess we will be hitting
the toy store with their gold. The only thing that could have made it better was
to have my son Jason there too. He called and I could tell he missed his family
alot. We will have to get him to get out here for the holidays until he has a
family of his own. He as well as Wendy remembered the gold eggs and the easter
egg hunts from when they were little.
