A walk through Jerusalem

This past weekend, the church that Peyton goes to school at, had an Easter Egg Hunt and also a little mini Jerusalem for the kids to experience. They were given bubble gum coins when they walked in to pay to do the activities. Some of the activities included were learning about the spices back in the day when Jesus lived, they had a bakery where they got to make butter, a jewelry store to make a necklace, grocery store where they played matching games, a carpenter's shop where they got to hammer nails into a cross, etc. It was fun and the kids seemed to enjoy it. Here are some cute photos from it and of the kids being cute posing together. They are just getting so big!

A Rodeo in Florida

Peyton's preschool had a rodeo day last week. It was such a great idea. The director of his school is actually from Allen, Texas which is very close to Garland, where I am from. They split the classes up and they each had their own chance to be a part of the rodeo. Peyton's class got to do a little obstacle course where they roped a paper calf, ran and played a guitar around a campfire and had to sing a song, and then ran with the horse in between their legs around some buckets and passed off to the next classmate. It was such a riot! The also had to carry corn kernals in a little measuring cup across the grass and into a bucket on their teachers lap. He was such a great sport and really had a good time! His class made their cowboy hats and bandanas to where around their neck. Here are some memories from that day.
