and the Weeping Cherry Trees were a fountain of pink profusion.
There was color everywhere.
The tulips and daffodils were blooming...
the grass was like a green carpet...
and the forsythia was like sunshine spilling over.
No matter where you looked, you could see mountains in the distance.
Here are some of the special moments from my trip:
Swimming in the hometown pool with cousins
My four boys with my sister's kids
Saying goodbye to my childhood pastor (He passed away while we were home.)
Hiking at Old Stone Fort with the boys, Aunt Lori and Christopher (beautiful)
Sittin' in the driveway (You had to be there!)
Hugging a friend I haven't seen in 20 years
Running into another friend at the store
Having a day to myself to shop and wander while the kids stayed with Granny and Aunt Lori
Enjoying Happy Hour at Sonic way too many times
Watching my children hug my grandmother and watching their eyes light up when she asks if they would like a piece of candy (Funny - I used to get a piece of peppermint and they get a whole Reeses Peanut Butter cup candy bar!)
Watching my nieces and nephews use thier gifts - Elizabeth singing, Christine''s beautiful solo, Jonathon's amazing monologue, and Ethan's acting
Hunting Easter eggs with all the cousins
(1st row) Christopher, Aidan, Ellis, and Andrew (2nd row) Faith, Emily, Andrew, Siah, Ethan (3rd row) Christine, Bennett, Elizabeth (not pictured: Jonathon & Hannah)
Watching my brothers organize a game of kick ball with 8 children under the age of 8 who didn't know how to play (pretty funny)
And the best part:Spending Easter Sunday with my parents and all my brothers and sisters and all their kids (The only one missing was my husband.)
