Easter Hunt

Since we'd just gotten back from our spring break vacation in Raleigh, we didn't do anything big on Easter weekend.  The park we love does a free egg hunt for the kiddos, and it was a beautiful day for it!  Then Sunday we had dinner with our friends the Schlossers, and the four missionaries serving in our church.  It was a DELICIOUS meal and beautiful, simple Easter!

North Carolina Trip!


For spring break, we tagged along with Joe to a work conference in Raleigh-Durham!  Work put us up in at the beautiful Washington Duke Inn on Duke University's campus.  The boys enjoyed swimming at the indoor pool (it was still somewhat chilly, and rainy most days), and going to the FREE Natural History Museum in Raleigh!



Touching a SNAKE!



Riding the lion statue outside the hotel... I'm sure the doorman loved that... not a lot of little kids at a hotel like this!



Duke University Gardens- beautiful!  Notice the top of their chapel over the forest ridge?

The chapel on Duke's campus.  AMAZING inside & out (sorry I didn't get a pic inside)!
It was a good FREE trip! :)  Kids did great on the 6.5 hour drive, and I'm sure we all put weight on by eating out for every meal... but good trip!
