Easter and The Outdoors

The Etowah River

Brandon showing Faith some fishing skills

Cole and Faith

Wading through the river to the middle...
the water was cold and the
current was strong

Cole fishing

After getting in the river for
a while Milla spent time
trying out filters on the shore

Just hanging out on the riverbank

Cole kept eating all the fish bait...
he loved the cold corn from a can!

*Dude Perfect All Sports Golf Challenge*
Brandon set up a 6 hole golf course
with 6 American flags around our house...
First we played with a football (you score
like golf---how many throws, tosses, hits or
rolls it takes you to get to the flag)...
then a tennis racket and ball, then a
baseball and bat, then basketball,
then a golf ball!  It was so fun!

Easter Morning we got to watch
church online.
"What can wash my sins away
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus"

Deep thoughts

Organizing cars

We got to drive over to see Grandpa

spaced out social distancing kind
of visit.  We had fun visiting and
looking at the pretty yellow fields.
