Easter in Madison

We decided to take a family road trip to spend some time in Madison with the Madison Hoeksemas as we call them around here, Jake, Kat, Grace and Ollie.  We even got a chance to stop and surprise Grandma Hoeksema on the way.  We had a wonderful time, with lots of beautiful weather to enjoy.  It was great to watch the cousins play, get to chat with Jake and Kat and see their lives in their home.  We enjoyed an easter egg hunt in the children's garden and even got to take some tractor rides. We also were lucky enough to get to see the Okee Dokee Brothers in concert, a new favorite around our house!  A good time was had by all and the girls did not want to leave.  We drove back with all four kids and are looking forward to some more cousin time this week!  Thanks Madison Hoeksemas for hosting us and letting us be a part of your world for the weekend!

Dyeing eggs with natural ingredients, actually worked really well!

Lucy loved that the neighborhood was filled with back yard chicken coops!
