Good Friday

Thursday night Hunter woke up several times, but in the morning he didn't have a fever and said he felt better, so we got ready to meet our friends at the arboretum.  Before we left, we put up our cross...

We had breakfast at the arboretum with our friends, Kim, Amelia, and Caleb, and then got ready for the egg hunt.  The kids were divided by age, so Kim stayed with Amelia and Char while I went with Hunter...

 (He's in the green jacket.)

Charlotte, Amelia, and Hunter after the hunt...

Grey slept in his seat all morning...

After the hunt, we explored for a while until it was time for the face painting, etc.  The kids loved this slide...

Then checked out the teepee...

Finally we headed to the petting zoo and then, FACE PAINTING!!!  Amelia and Hunter decided they didn't want to have their face painted, but Charlotte was pumped!  She's checkimg it out in the mirror here...

Then we went over to the Eddie Coker concert, which was so fun!  And really loud.

Char loved dancing and being silly...

But I could tell Hunter was starting to feel bad, so after the concert, we headed to the car.  He moaned and shivered all the way home, slept all afternoon and then had a 103 fever that night.  You know that made me feel like parent of the year.

I'm always so sad on Good Friday.  I know that Sunday is coming, but the weight of what Jesus did for me on Friday is almost too much.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities,
The punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
And by his wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

Oh, how he loves us...
