Easter (Saturday) in Perkins, Oklahoma

On Friday night we drove up to  Oklahoma to celebrate Easter with the Arthur family (Debbie's side of the family) at the Territorial Plaza in Perkins. Though brief, it was really nice getting to visit and see everyone. 
Cousin Tonya, Aunt Julie and cousin Kim
 Aunt Deanna with cousin Amber's youngest, Tyler.

 Great grandkids, Morgan, Brynn, Ryan, Grant & Ethan

Waiting patiently for the Easter Egg Hunt to begin.
 AND THEY'RE OFF!

This was the church (Methodist Episcopal Church of Perkins) where Deona's parents were married in 1968.  It was relocated from downtown Perkins to Territorial Plaza on Friday, April 22nd to be restored. Very cool.
 Here's a new one.  Everett sitting in "time out" in front of the church where his grandparents were married. :)
After our day at the park, some of us headed back to Grandmas house.

Playing on the screened porch
 then on Grandma's guest bed.
 Jordan didn't play very long; obviously an exhausting day.
 After exploring the farm with Grammy, Everett decided to count his "acorns" (aka pecans) he collected.
 Emory explored Grandma's bottles of yarn.
 There is always so much to do on Grandma's farm. 
Everett & Matthew pick tiny flowers
 Play chase
 Climb fences
blow dandelions and climb on tractors. 
I thought it would be great fun to put these two photos side by side.  Everett was 9 months old the last time he sat on Grandma's tractor.  Our baby boy has grown up.  Wahhhhhhhhh!  :(
Big kids have lots of fun at Grandma's too.  This photo was taken from afar; hence the blur.
A short, yet sweet time, with family this Easter.
