Easter

This is my first time ever celebrating Easter.

I went to Jared's place and stayed over there.

It's a 3+ driving to his house in Illinois.

That's Jared's house in the middle of the fields.

We stopped halfway at a state park. He explained to me everything about the park because he is working for the natural resource department. He used to burn a lot of the plants, even now.

Walking in the state park. Jared's leading. :)

First day not doing much, but playing with his cat with a string.

The cat. I forgot her name. I like playing with her.

Second day went to a church in the morning.

We had a lunch with all the dishes his mom cooked. It's a good meal.

Well, I helped Jared to cook carrot dish also. :)

And in the afternoon, I drove a tractor!

It's so cool that I got to drive a tractor!

The tractor!

We went to his grandpa's house. It's also a house in the middle of fields.

His grandpa was busy showing us his antiques which soon to be sold. He said he's going to die soon. Those antiques can be sold and the money earned can be distributed among his children.

We got some rhubarb there and I took some back. I'm going to cook them.

This's my first time seeing rhubarb.

Jared's busy picking rhubarb. Rhubarbs' leaves are poisonous but their stems taste good. That's a new piece of knowledge I learnt.

Btw, Jared looks different in his so called 'spring burn beard' that prevent him from staying too close to the fire when he's working.

Jared is really a good guy!
