Amazing God

God is amazing,

more than anyone else.

He lives in good Heaven,

not bad Hell.

While some people hate Him,

Others embrace Him.

He's our heavenly father

whom we cannot see,

But we know in our hearts

He's as real as can be.

Oops! I caught the Easter Bunny!

On the day before Easter, I set a trap for squirrels because I wanted one for a pet. I had been trying to catch one for months but they are too fast! I had no idea that my trap would soon be used for more than catching squirrels!

Late in the night I heard a noise. It was the sound of my trap snapping but I was too tired to get up and see what it was. In the morning, our Easter baskets were right where we left them, and they were empty! I looked outside to see if the candy was hidden there, and what did I see? I saw the Easter Bunny tangled up in my squirrel trap! “Oh my goodness!” I said. I ran outside and set him free as quickly as I could. I felt so sorry!

I went back inside with my family and told them what happened. We closed our eyes and counted to one hundred while the Easter Bunny filled our baskets. Back outside we ran right to the baskets and looked at all the surprises. In my basket there was a note that said, Please take a break from catching squirrels when Easter is near. Love, The Easter Bunny. There was a fluffy, brown, stuffed squirrel behind the note. I picked him up and hugged him tightly.

I was lucky to enter any photos in the fair this year as things have been so busy!  It wasn't my best year, but I can't complain about the three ribbons I won.

 Lucas thought he may have earned an extra ride since he got such an important ribbon!
