Easter in St. John's

We spent Easter weekend in St. John's with my family. My sister Amy and her family live there and we all went and stayed at her house. It was really a cold weekend but we all had a great time. On Friday we went to the Petrified Forest near Holbrook. The kids loved walking the trails and being with their cousins. It was super windy that day. There were all these petrified logs and some of them had contained big crystals but people have taken the crystals out so there are just big holes where they were. On Saturday we had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. We scattered the kids by age and they had fun finding and eating their finds. Later we went to Lyman Lake and had a barbeque and did some hiking. There had been some snow flurries that morning so it was really cold. The kids had fun skipping roks in the lake. That night after all the kids were in bed the adults played Ticket to Ride, I love that game. My Dad had never played before and he loved it too. On Sunday we all went to church. The church buliding were in was over 100 years old. It was a nice meeting and it is fun to go to other wards and meet new people. We had a really yummy early dinner and then headed home. Thank you Amy and Brad! It was fun to get out of town and to spend time with family!
