Easter

Easter morning baskets

 Looking through the loot

This is the 3rd year in a row with these dresses. It barely buttoned up on Sophia. I think hers is like 18-24 months or something.

Pre-Easter Fun

 Saturday before Easter we went to an Easter Parade with some friends. It was pretty decent.


Afterwards we met a lot of people from our ward at the park and had a picnic/egg hunt. 



To finish off the day we dyed our Easter Eggs. 

This picture made me laugh because Sophia is always pulling up her shirt. She's destined to be a stripper. 

Larabee State Park

Seriously, if you're bored of yet another beach/starfish picture skip ahead. I certainly am. But here it is anyways. We checked out a new place called Larabee State Park. I rate it pretty high up there as long as you go when the tide is low. We found a ton of critters and it was more starfish than I've ever seen in one place. Luckily my kids don't get sick of it. 

Sophia finally isn't scared of crabs. After like the millionth time of being around them. She kept catching them and played with them forever. 
 Lots of starfish. Kevin found a sea slug, eels, fish, crabs, a hairy crab, and even wrestled a muscle out of the ground by pulling it's tubey thing. Jordyn was in heaven.

 Freaky starfish

 The beach wasn't ideal. It was very rocky. My kids didn't seem to mind though. I had a great time lounging. It was a rare sunny March day. Almost seems like a dream since it's been nothing but rain since.
 On the way home we stopped by the tulip festival to see how things were getting along. No tulips yet but they did have the daffodils out in full bloom. The pictures don't do it justice. It is so pretty. If it ever stops raining I'm sure you'll see tulip pictures soon.

Our spring snow storm

This year was a lot different then last year. It's been a very mild winter. We got one random day of March snow. It was perfect to have it to play in for one day then it melted and was so nice the next day.  We made a super lame snowman (Kevin wasn't home) and threw some snowballs, then did some sledding. My kind of snow.
