Indeed!

Happy Easter! This morning I was doing a lesson with the kids at church- so exciting to celebrate the Easter story with the children. All through church this morning we would hear- He Is Risen and of course the reply was, He is Risen-  Indeed!! Realizing that children often say things but have no idea why, I asked them- why do we say "Indeed"? A little girl with much confidence said "it means like we are totally for sure." Yes couldn't have said it better myself. He Is Risen Indeed!

We kicked off our season to Carowinds on opening day yesterday. It turned out to be a beautiful day. We're always excited to walk in the gates no matter who many times we've been before.

She's tall enough! Last year we only did one visit to Carowinds, but they sent Tinley away just shy of the height requirement for the swings...not anymore!

Who needs the Easter Bunny when you have the Easter Beagle?

Enjoyed seeing some old friends.

So glad these two can buddy up on rides now- not that I don't like riding on the tiny rides, but sometimes I wonder if I can get out.

This is the ONE game they picked to play.

New dinosaur exhibit!

A good day had by all- and we left with a banana that looked like Spiderman (nicknamed Spidernana) and a pink raccoon with the original name of Princess Leia. These will come in handy in my treasure box at school once they've received a little love.

Checking our our baskets this morning. This little mama was mostly thrilled to have her own wipe holder and diaper for her babies. Very exciting.

Parker couldn't believe he had his very own Magic Tree House book (he has been checking them out from school rapidly).

Our morning at church was very busy and my hopes of getting some pictures before or after didn't work out....I just got these on my phone real quick.

The kids thought it would be funny to make lollipop poses.

If you can't tell from their creative perspective, the lollipops are eyes below;) Sometimes you just have to go with it!
