Easter in Kansas


We spent Easter weekend in Manhattan, Kansas, visiting my college roommate, Jen and her family. Jen and I occasionally get to see one another when she comes home to New Sharon (just about 20 minutes down the road from us) but it had been about 3 1/2 years since we had made the trip to see them.  She and her husband, Joel, have two precious little girls.  Ellie will be 5 in July and Alexa was born just two days after Elias, so will turn 3 in May.  The kids had a fantastic time together and it was so great to have time to catch up.


 The kids spent lots of time reading together-

 The weather on Saturday was beautiful.  We enjoyed a trip to a local park-



We colored eggs outside-

Incredible Hulk hands...good thing it all washed off in the bath that night!

We spent a bit of time on the campus of Kansas State University, where Joel and Jen work with students through their ministry, Student Mobilization.  It's a beautiful campus with a limestone theme.  The buildings look like castles.  It's the coolest place.

Easter Morning-


A great day for an egg hunt-



So thankful for wonderful friends!
