Last weekend was Easter. We went to Wichita Botanica for the first time because we had some tickets to use.... The Easter Bunny was there along with lots of girls dressed as fairies handing out eggs. Not much was blooming yet, and all fountain and water areas were either turned off or not filled yet. It would be interesting to go back, maybe in May, to see the difference a month or two makes in the appearance. The girls liked looking around and climbing on the big fake tree area there.
At church on Sunday we enjoyed a large breakfast potluck, a little egg hunt and a fantastic Easter church service - filled with people in our congregation's testimonies about how God has worked and is working in their lives.

After church we headed North to my cousin Josh's house for a Hastings family Easter gathering.
We cooked out, threw some Frisbees, played the annual wiffleball game, visited, had an egg hunt, and did some barn work, and got a little dirty.

Another generation of Hastings kid egg hunters....
Josh, Eric, and Dale did some barn work.... The rest of us watched and took pictures of them working, and occasionally said, "Be Careful!"
We got home that night around 9pm. We had an Easter bucket with some surprises in it for each one of our kids from us... Sarah and Silas were still awake to look in their buckets. Phoebe was just too tired and would not wake-up. She was happy to look in her bucket the next morning.
I hope you had a nice Easter. Remember God is with you. ALWAYS. You may or may not want him to be, or you have yet to realize and know God, and know his love for you is constant. But, my friends, he is not going to leave. He has been with you always and will be with you always. And, he is a good God. Turn to him. Put your trust in him and BELIEVE.
What a great day!!
