It is really hard to only include some of my kids in shots because they are usually together.

Ha.

So you get pics with no kids.

This really is one of my favorite easy walks to go on in North Eastern Oklahoma.

I like going to this one right after(or even during) the rain.

It is mostly boardwalk so the rain does not bother the trail and there are more animals out.

In theory at least.

My kids scare off most animals…

This egret was seen from the vehicle!

HA!

Easter *updated with pics of all my kids

We have never really done much for Easter.

This year I was thinking about doing several things but was prepared for none of them.

I forgot to get everyone new clothes so I was scrambling around Sunday morning to find nice things for everyone to wear.

I felt like it was a miracle we all got ready in time for church.

Then we stepped outside and saw all the windows down on the vehicle, in the rain…

I was ready to call it quits but my husband told the boys to get towels.

I was thinking “WE ARE STILL GOING?”

Ha.

We made it but I realized I had nothing special for Easter meal.

I had thought about it but never actually bought it…

We decided to go on the trip to the Salt Plains Wildlife Refuge while driving home from church.

It is 2.5hrs one way to get there.

I was so happy though.

Definitely more my speed than fancy meals and themed activities.

2.5hrs for snow?

YES!

Someone just read the Chronicles of Narnia and was taken with the Dawn Treader.

Instead of Easter eggs they searched for bones.

My kind of Easter!

 *I updated this post with pictures of our girls also after adoption.

I was not able to share them at the time since we had not finalized the adoption.
