Creek Kids Easter

This year was our second year in Creek Kids to do the Road to the Cross, where our volunteer leaders take a small group of kids through five different scenes that follow Jesus' path from Palm Sunday, to the last supper, to the garden, to the cross, to the grave, and beyond.  It is a lot of work to set up, but such a great experience.

Following Jesus' footsteps.

A leader with his group of 4th grade boys.

Celebrating one another at Jesus' triumphal entry to Jerusalem.

Washing one another's hands after learning how Jesus washed his disciples' feet at the Last Supper.

Adding their prayers to the Garden of Gethsemane.

 Putting their sins at the foot of the cross.

 Looking into the tomb and seeing Jesus' message of hope to us.

And the footsteps came out of the tomb to show that Jesus didn't stay dead, defeating death for all of us!

Joseph

We went with the Sharps, Mimi and DD to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a fun musical that we all enjoyed.

Yummy dinner after with some sweet, silly girls.

Spring Break

We had a great spring break, so much fun I didn't take pictures of much of it.  :)

This is not a good photo but it is such a neat (and rare) moment that I had to take a picture to remember it by...Isaac and Abby chilling and reading a magazine together.  

We went to the zoo with our friend Jackson.

We had a sleepover with Jackson and Abby's friend Madeline, saw the new Cinderella move, and went camping.  Great break from the work week!

Rodeo Run 10K

Met downtown to run a 10k with Jen and Josie.

 Not too shabby.

Isaac's new shaggy do.

Papa's 85th

My cousin Kelli and her family came to stay with us as the Govreau family converged on Houston to celebrate Papa's 85th birthday. 

We started with a quick trip to Brazos Bend State park to look for alligators. 

We saw a bunny.

And got to pet baby alligators at the visitors center. 

And a snake

And then we got lucky and saw some baby alligators on a log out in the wild.  So cool!

The Mighty Niners.  We won't be able to call them that much longer.

Papadeaux for Papa.

Happy birthday, Papa!  We love you.

School Days

George Ranch Historical Park Field Trip

Best field trip I've ever chaperoned.  The staff was awesome and all I had to do was follow the group around and learn cool stuff about pioneer life. 4th grade.

And a pic of Abby's class too. 2nd grade.
