Hippity Hop to Cedar Hill Farm

Well, Good Friday was good for many reasons! A few weeks ago, my friend, Melissa, told me about Cedar Hill Farm’s big Easter event on Good Friday, complete with an egg hunt, an Easter bunny sighting, pics with bunnies, etc., and it evolved into a huge friend and family outing. All in all, we had 15 people in our entourage!

  • Melissa; her son, Lawson; and her mom
  • Ashley; her kids, Wynn and Samuel; and her mom
  • Emily, Ann Maxwell, and Emmaline
  • Me and Helen Grace and JOHN- thank you, bank holidays!- and Spiffer and Granddaddy

Melissa, Ashley, and I grew up together in Southaven, and then we all went to Ole Miss, pledged DG, and met Emily. Very neat that now our babies are friends! We had SUCH a good time letting the kiddos run wild and enjoying the beautiful day, and we were thankful to have John and his professional camera/photogenic eye along for the ride. The weather turned out to be a little chilly in the morning (in the mid 50s), so we had to pull out the pants again. Welcome to Mississippi! (shaking my head)

Bummer!CF6C0454 Approaching the Easter Bunny, she was intrigued because we told her that he was lonely and wanted a friend.CF6C0466 And then we got too close and she threw on the brakes…CF6C0469 CF6C0476

HG is turning into quite the Bossy Bess.CF6C0534 John captured this hilarious hug/tackle collapse.CF6C0569 CF6C0570 Wynn and Helen GraceCF6C0654 A glimpse into Delta Gamma’s 2027 pledge class (we hope)…CF6C0691 CF6C0701 Lawson, Samuel, Wynn, HG, AM, EmmalineCF6C0721 Eggs!!CF6C0782 CF6C0791 CF6C0808 CF6C0819 CF6C0837 HG, Sha, Samuel, Melissa, Lawson, Ashley, Wynn, Ann Maxwell, Emily, and EmmalineCF6C0851 CF6C0880
