bless bellflower

this year easter offered us an opportunity to serve our community. our home church along with other churches in bellflower participated in a city wide egg hunt. due to budget cuts, the city had to cancel the egg hunt that had been done in previous years. we were blessed to have the chance to serve members of our community and share the good news at the same time. preston took control of the kids while i served at one of the craft booths. ely and some of her friends enjoyed the egg hunt and the playground afterward.


paul, hazel and ely waiting for the egg hunt to start. it was torture for them to wait! the eggs were just laying on the ground so they had to stand there and stare at the eggs for 10 minutes before the mad dash!

rob restraining malachi. it was really hard for him to understand why he couldn't go. :)

the mad dash

of course she's on the swings!


ely's other treat- there was a boy at the park with a corn snake and ely wanted to hold it. preston thought this was a great idea! she was a little nervous, but she did a really good job! the boy said that the vet took out the poisonous fangs so it was safe to hold. when preston told me this, i wasn't very reassured!
