Easter is the most important holiday even though it has been covered over via bunnies, eggs and chocolate. It’s about the most amazing thing ever done in the history of the world. The horror of the crucifixion has past and Jesus rose from the dead fulfilling all of God’s promises from the Old Testament. It’s a gift for all – freely given if you only believe.
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
I am working my way through our photos from the end of 2012 and trying to get everything documented. These photos are from our trip to the Pumpkin Patch on 10.19.2012.
We had such a wonderful trip at the beach with our friends the Hameloth family. I was ready to move to the Outer Banks by the end of the trip 🙂 We headed home early in the morning and when we were nearly off the island I saw a sign on the side of the 2 lane highway that said, “Unlawful to feed bears on the side of highway”, and my first thought was “Who does that?” Then about a mile down the road I saw a sign that said, “Watch for wild turkeys in road” and I decided that someone forgot to tell the turkeys about the bears.

First off, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a seriously stressful place to drive. Beautiful country, but I was glad when we were done with all those winding roads.
On day two of our drive home I40 was halted to a standstill because of road construction. Everyone was forced to take a detour that took over an hour, but we did pass this interesting house.
One tree decorated with shoes and the other with bottles.
We couldn’t resist a photo op with this guy at one of the truck stops. What a great trip, but we were glad to be home.
