Easter

Saturday morning we ventured out to Redwings horse sanctuary, which is only about twenty minutes from our home. They had a fun easter egg hunt for the kids, a yummy breakfast, and we took a lovely tour of the sanctuary. It was awesome. They have over 90 equines, that have either been rescued, or neglected, or relocated. It was beautiful and the girls loved looking at the horses and donkeys and ponies. They were also tiny baby bunnies hopping around everywhere. I have decided that I'm going to volunteer at the sanctuary when I can, I'm pretty excited about it! Ava one the prize for finding the most easter eggs, she was very excited. After that we went into town to get some groceries for our Sunday dinner. I invited the missionaries over so I had to be a little fancy. We had ham, asparagus, rolls, cheesy potatoes and delish jello-ie cheesecake desert. They loved it so it was a success. And can I just say that I love looking at the produce we buy and seeing that it was grown in the next town. Everything tastes so much better here. I'm just sayin..

Ahhhh...I'm loving our new home. I love the beautiful area we live in. We went and explored the two local lakes the other day, and they were beautiful! We now wish we had brought our kayaks with us. I love how much family time we have been able to spend together. Stu works in cycles, he does nine days and then has four days off, so it's nice. Also his commute is only a five minute bike ride away. Here's a few photo's from our lake adventure...
