Harmonie State Park...

Riaan had a pretty rough time the night before Easter, and so when Easter Sunday dawned we were all too tired to make it to church. And so after a leisurely morning, we decided to worship God another way: By getting outside and spending time in His beautiful creation! We dodged some storms and visited scenic Harmonie State Park - on the banks of the Wabash River. We hiked and had lovely family time together. It was definitely needed! :)

 But playing with dirt and mud is more fun!
