Back to the Mountains!


I was so excited when the Mikesells invited me to Honey Bear to capture their Easter celebration!  I had a lot of fun there last fall getting some pics of their newest baby (the campground) and the family, so of course I was ready to head back and see it in the spring!

Except... Easter fell pretty early this year.. and there was a freak snow storm in the mountains.  So it was more wintery than springy.. snow and all.  But it was still a lot of fun!
We started off the weekend with some worship in the Coffee Shoppe on Good Friday.

The talented Andre Gonzalez leading worship.
And of course there were s'mores.  With bunny shaped marshmallows.  I couldn't bring myself to hold the bunny over the fire... but the kids didn't mind one bit! :)

Saturday was the BIG day!  There were egg hunts, games, crafts and lots of fun to be had by all the campers, and the community too!

Racing to find the eggs!

The snow didn't allow for much camouflaging... 
Nothin' quite like throwing a bean-bag carrot at a bunch of cans!
Sack Race... er... Bunny Hop anyone? 
Ready for round 2 of the egg hunt!
 

Meanwhile in the craft barn...
And s'mores... always s'mores!!!


Saturday night there was an egg-dying party and a showing of the movie Hop! for the campers - yes, those are my pair of cheeks you see below - it was his first experience dying eggs for Easter!

Sunday morning there was a sun rise service... even though we couldn't see the sun rising behind the rain clouds, it was a beautiful service with a great message and great worship!


It was my second time to Honey Bear campground and I love it more every time we go!  It is such a fun place to be, away from it all, amazing, I mean seriously amazing hosts, and - who doesn't love an excuse to eat s'mores?

I'll be headed back to capture the fun Mother's Day festivities... hopefully minus the snow.   ;)
