We were lucky enough to spend Easter in
Panama, New York with our friends, the Wares!
It was great! Dad Wares has this house and
barn on a lot of land with few neighbors.
The girls were outside playing all the time and we weren't worried!!
We of course celebrated Easter.
Before Church on Easter Sunday
Boone, Jovie, Courtney, Sophia, Kailyn
After church with Easter Baskets
Then onto the Easter Egg Hunt.
The girls got to collect eggs from the chickens!!
We went a little off roading and hiking in the woods. It was beautiful even though
It had been raining and raining.
The girls had a blast jumping in the mud that was left from all the rain.
Jovie took 2 spills one on front and one on back...
she doesn't like when her hands get dirty and
she can't wash it off... but after a little coaxing
she went right back to jumping and slipping in the mud.
Ryan made the girls swords.
Don't mess with Jovie
The men sat around and did some target shooting.
Even Boone joined in...Jeremy's is tough, Boone looks scared
One day we drove to Palmyra, New York
to see Church History Sites. It was a Great Experience!
I am so glad that we went and we got it all in on the same day.
Here is a picture of the Palmyra Temple from the Smith Family Home
Inside the Smith Family House
Into the Sacred Grove...
What a great experience to be in the sacred grove where
at the age of 14 Joseph Smith prayed to know which
church to join. In answer to his prayer Heavenly Father
and Jesus Christ appeared to him.
And the Church of Jesus Christ was restored to the Earth!
I know this is true.
I have prayed about it myself and took time
to sit alone and pray while in the Sacred Grove.
The Spirit was strong. I loved it!!
We also went to...
The girls learned how to fold the Book of Mormon
pages so they could be ready to be bound. They got to keep them.
We also visited the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center
I love this picture because after listening and talking
about our Savior, the girls went up to the statue of
Jesus and started touching the wounds in his feet.
And one day, we will have the opportunity
to meet our Savior, thank Him, and feel those wounds.
We are forever thankful to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
On the way back to the Wares house,
Jeremy and I decided to drive up to Niagra Falls.
It was only 30 minutes out of the
way and pretty fun to see and have dinner.
Why have people tried to go over these falls?
