Easter Weekend













We took the girls to Pawpaw and Granny's ranch over Easter weekend. It was strange not being in church to celebrate such a remarkable event in our history. I would have liked to have heard our Pastor's sermon, but it was also good to get away from the city and just enjoy country life for a couple of days. We took the girls fishing for the first time. I can't say Makenzie was too impressed, but she got a Barbie fishing pole from her daddy that worked pretty well. Ashlyn had her first experience horse back riding, and I think she liked it given the absence of tears. Pawpaw let Makenzie drive the gator and I have to say that she did really well since those things don't have power- steering. I wish I had my camera to catch Ashlyn stomp her foot right in the center of a huge cow patty. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to react. Her granny and I don't know what she was thinking, other than it was a little dry and perhaps she mistook it for a rock??? I guess it could have been worse....she could have rolled all around in it like our dogs did after taking a plunge in the pond......talk about gross!!! We were all gagging after watching that event unfold before our eyes!
We had a great weekend and the girls are already asking to go back.
