More Egg Hunts

On Friday night we headed up to Cameron Park for Easter. We went to two egg hunts on Saturday day in between watching Conference. The 1st one is one of our favorites and it is early in the morning at the high school and put on by the fire department. They have 3 different age groups are girls were in each different group. They got a lot of eggs and they had a blast with their cousins.
Later on in the afternoon, we headed to another egg hunt at one of the local churches. It was fun for the kids and we got to see some old friends.

Coloring Eggs and Easter

We didn't have time to color eggs before going to grandmas so on Sunday we colored eggs. The girls had a blast. I made them take their shirts off so they would not get them colored on. I guess I should have brought shirts for them to color in.
Easter Sunday we were visited by the Easter bunny. They girls got some fun goodies. That afternoon we headed to Noah's sister house for dinner and a family egg hunt. It was fun to hide eggs and baskets for everyone. It was great to be all together as a family on this special holiday.

Ward Egg Hunt

On Friday evening our ward had an egg hunt. The girls had a blast waiting for the egg hunt by placing their buckets in their heads. When the hunt began the girls had a great time running around searching for eggs. It was pretty cool how many eggs they had for each child.
The girls loved it. After we had a potluck dinner. The hunt, the food, the friends, and the evening was great.

Pirate Girls

After school and after homework my girls really wanted to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. I agreed and they all ran upstairs. When they came back down they were all dressed up in their pirate costumes ready to start the movie. They had asked for Cheetos as their snack for the movie. It was pretty funny seeing them all dressed up and into the movie. Silly girls.

My Spring Flowers

At my old house we had a lovely spring surprise when the tulips and daffodils would pop up out of the ground and splash color in the front of our house. I loved it and wanted the same thing at our new home. It took 3 yrs but I finally planted some bulbs this year and this is what I got...

A Day at the Zoo

I decided I would talk the girls on their day off to the Oakland Zoo. Their aunt Rachel and their cousins Logan and Kelsie also joined us. It is always fun when we go together. We saw lots of animals that were out and about because of the nice weather. Logan was sad when the giraffes were not allowed out because they were remodeling their home. He did like the giant alligator skeleton. Ashlyn enjoyed talking about all the animals as we passed them.The kids love to play on all the different play areas that the zoo has. That is probably their favorite thing to do at the zoo. It was another great day at the zoo.

Day5: Coming Home

Today we cleaned out our little cabin and packed our truck up. We did not hurry home, but made our way slowly down HWY 101 towards home. We had a great time this week and can't wait to do it again. Here are some outtakes from some of the days we tried to take pictures. Once we got home we unpacked and went to the movies to see "A Diary of a Wimpy Kid". It was a pretty funny movie.It was a great way to end our week.
