Today it really felt like spring. Jen went with me and the boys on our first trip to the zoo since the fall. It was good to be back. It's my favorite place to take the kids for a day trip. We met my friend Debbie and her little girl McKenna for the Easter celebration at the zoo. The sun decided to come out after lunch and it felt so nice to be outside for the day. Trey went to the zoo several times last summer, but he was just an infant then. It was so fun to watch him attack the animals in the petting zoo and stare in awe at the fish in the aquarium. Debbie--let's plan our next trip soon!

We then went to my mom's to celebrate Easter with my family. Mom had hidden a ton of eggs for all the little ones. More time outside, lots of food, and special Easter baskets with candy Nana made herself. A good day, a very good day.

And now I think I better get some rest so I'm ready to celebrate Easter at 64 King tomorrow.

I miss hearing Eric sing this on Easter morning...

The Blood that Jesus shed for me,
way back on Calvary.
The Blood that gives me strength from day to day
it will never lose its power.

For it reaches to the highest mountains,
and it flows to the lowest valleys
Oh the Blood that gives me strength from day to day
it will never lose its power

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
and it drys all my tears
Oh the Blood that gives me strength from day to day
it will never lose its power.

typing that out makes me miss the Dilbones. I love to watch Sara experience that song. As you watch her face you know without a doubt that she has experienced first hand the power of Christ's blood. Happy Easter BG friends. May you experience the power of His resurrection fully today.
