Team Smith

Last year Cassidy picked up one egg and said "All Done!" This year she was unstoppable... Rev Kathy did an awesome kidlet service and Rev Stefani made Cass smile so big between the singing and waving of the Alleluias. I love seeing all of the kids dressed up in their Easter best and wreaking havoc at the same time. Yes, some do exhibit angelic tendencies, but most are just having a ball during service and that includes running around, screaming at the top of their lungs, and talking to each other. The Lord did say make a joyful noise! Then we went over Teri and Roger's place for lunch and watched Cass play with Aidan and Bella! Too cute :-) Tea parties and chasing and egg hunting were all on the agenda. Followed by a scrumptious lunch of grilled cheese, tomato soup, fruit salad, and boiled eggs. And what I appreciate about this egg hunt is that we mixed it up a bit. Some eggs had candy, but others had stickers or change and golden eggs had dollar bills...so fun watching t

Last weekend was the opening of Animal Ark. It's a preserve and rescue for some incredible creatures! We packed a lunch and drove out of the city to have some fun with some of Cass' favorite animals. It's somewhat laughable, but most of the animals there are nocturnal, so unless it's feeding time, they are sleeping. The cheetahs were very alert, power shimmering off their coats even rendered Matt speechless! We arrived just in time for feeding the bears.
