Easter in Brisbane

Sorry that we have not posted many updates from Murrumba Downs/Petrie for a while...our family photographer is still sick with the whole 'baby growing inside her' thing and the rest of us have become lazy at taking photos, so no-one has been documenting our fascinating lives!

This Easter has been quite eventful for the Walton's. Dean took off for the weekend up to a fancy apartment in Coolum with friends, while mum and dad got lucky as the 'Walton penthouse' was available for the weekend! This left Steve and Chels in charge of the Brisbane castle and we spent a significant part of the weekend with Pete and Anna livin' it up with friends while the parents were away.

We had a lovely 8am Friday service at Bray Park School Hall where we usually meet and then on Sunday the church met at 8am at Moora Park, Sandgate for hot breakfast, an Easter Egg hunt and playtime for the kiddies. It was such a beautiful morning gathering as a church family by the ocean. The most exciting part of the morning was not breakfast or the Easter Egg hunt, but the discovery of a wonderful new wooden playground that has every swinging and sliding thing you could dream of! The best part was, it was large enough for big kids to play too. We had the whole church running around the playground, it was memorable Easter gathering!

Other Walton Easter highlights include...'country' drives and bush walks at Mount Glorious for Steve and Chels. Stewart visits for mum and dad who were shown pictures of fresh baby Art Jackson Stewart by proud grandparents. Bush walks for mum and dad at Buderim- impressive effort! And to finish off a busy weekend for all...Anna and Peter bought a new car!!!
