EGGIES!

Easter was so much fun this year! Rowen was super excited about the Easter Bunny and lots of egg hunts. The day before Easter, the park across the street had their 44th annual Easter Egg Hunt - where hundreds (possibly thousands) gathered & celebrated Easter with egg hunts, face painting, bubbles, balloons, firemen & fire trucks, an animal show, and a small train that circled around the whole park. Everything was FREE (except the pancake breakfast). Here are some pics from egg hunt #1 (in the morning):

On Sunday, Rowen received yet another basket (from the Easter Bunny, of course) and also had egg hunt #3.

{He had to open each egg to see what was inside}

Presidents Day Weekend

Over the Presidents Day weekend, we went to Big Bear with my cousins. It had just snowed the day before, so there was fresh snow on the ground for the weekend. The temp was in the 50s during the day and the weather was beautiful!
