Easter Weekend

This year for Easter weekend we went up to Young with Ron and Sarah. We came home Saturday night, so we could be to church on Sunday. It was a fun weekend! We colored eggs, went to the creek and the "mini Grand Canyon" and even did a zip line! The mini Grand Canyon is a canyon not far from Young that has an incredible view and an incredible drop! I have never been there because Jon would never take the kids. It was pretty scary and I was holding their hands very tightly the entire time. But I'm glad I finally got to see it. The zip line was pretty fun! The kids got to do it last summer when they stayed with Grandpa, but this was mine and Jon's first time. I was scared! But not as scared as Derrick. He threw the biggest fit! Somehow Jon talked him into it and he finally went, loved it, and went 3 more times! Emma wasn't scared at all, surprisingly. She was the first to go with no reservations! It was a refreshing trip and I'm glad we went. On Easter the kids got their baskets and were so excited! They got special bubbles that don't pop (not a good idea)! They are very messy! I got the kids all ready for church in their Easter outfits, but Emma only lasted about 15 minutes at church. She was coughing constantly so Jon took her home. She had a cough for a few weeks...not fun! But regardless, it was a great Easter weekend!
