Washington trip continued...

We also got to stay with Grandma, Luetta and Alaine for a night and enjoy Sunday General Conference with them. Aiden loved Luetta's dogs and looking at the tractor behind their house.















Of course we had to make the traditional bunny cake for Lauries birthday.















The Friday night before we left we had some Easter Activities for the kids to help them learn the true meaning of Easter. Here they are eating some "passover" food, and getting ready for an obstacle course where they had to carry a heavy bagpack through once and then go through again without it. The rocks inside the bagpack represented their burdens, and sins. After doing the course without the bagpack they were able to see what it's like to have their sins and burdens lifted through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Other activities included acting out the resurrection, decorating crowns and acting out Christs entrance, watching a movie and lots of others. Denae and Teresa did a great job putting all these activites together for the kids.















Just a couple more pictures...

What a creative idea for teaching children about the Atonement. Your sister looks great for just having her baby!
