It was such a battle trying to decide what to do for Easter without Ty. Easter has always been a fun event in the Thomas house, whether they went to Fort Richardson for the day or rented a cabin for the whole weekend. I was so excited about doing Easter Thomas style, but it was such a conflicting emotion, not having Dad there with us. We battled about what traditions to keep and what not to keep but in the end, tradition won out. And I'm so glad it did, I just love ALL the Thomas family traditions, it's what family is about.
So on good Friday we packed up our stuff and headed toward Davis OK to River Bend Lodge. We rented a cabin there and took Dad, Judy, and Summer and her kiddos with us. Kim cooked yummy meals for us, we flew kites, made cookies and cupcakes, fished and even jumped on the trampoline. The place was perfect and close enough to get us home early on Sunday... when Tyler and I decided we would dye eggs -- so fun!! Here is the cabin website if you are ever looking for a close getaway place http://river-bend-lodge.com/ .
I'll never forget this Easter, it was a great time filled with good family and good friends -- and Jesus is the reason for all the blessings we experienced on this glorious weekend!
He is Risen Indeed!!!
