After weeks of business with birthdays, trips to the parents' and all that surrounds Easter in a pastor's family, it was good to have a couple of days to just relax and do some fun things as a family.
Friday our church's preschool group went to the Zoo. Okay, so it was work-related, but still fun.
Luke checking out the Chimpanzees. He was none too sure about them.
Ben and his best bud, Eli watching the Flamingos.

Saturday morning we went to Hot Springs Village for a family reunion with some of Jenny's mom's family.

And the highlight of the weekend...Sadie's Birthday Party! We were so excited to celebrate our future daughter in-law's first birthday.
By this point in the afternoon, Luke had virtually no nap all day...still, he was a trooper.
