Easter With the Kents

Our Easter celebration, or as we prefer to call it Resurrection Celebration, took part in parts. A few days before Easter we gathered with a home school group and had an egg hunt. Uncle Eddie was still here and he and I hid the eggs. There were a lot of eggs. Fortuantely the park had been mostly mowed so the high grass was only on the fringe. The kids had a blast looking and looking. Amazingly the last ones to be found were the most in "the open"; just laying on the grass.






Even Titus, with the help of Uncle Eddie and Mami got in the game.



Part 2 of our Easter was spent performing a Christian program at a church in the North Bay Area town of San Rafael. Three 15 minute highly visual, full gospel message shows. The event was open to the public. The guests broke up into three groups. While one group watched us, one other group was hunting eggs, while the third group was doing crafts. They made bags to use to hold the found eggs and the decorated cookies as well as a number of other activities. Then we fellowshipped with the church members over lunch. My three little ones participated in the crafts but since we were performing they did not get to hunt eggs. That wasn't a big deal though since they had done so a couple of days earlier. And, with the chance of making kids everywhere angry, they had too much candy anyway.















Jim juggled in the show. Cynthia and Miles were on their drive back from a missions trip to Mexico where they built two homes for needy families.
Part 3
Easter at our home church. It was a morning filled with lots of music.
