We decided to dye our Easter Eggs before the trip to California.
It was an interesting experience because our chickens lay eggs that look a bit ready for Easter already. We have brown, white, pink and blue eggs.
But the kids had fun adding a little extra stencil and seeing what colors they would turn with more dye.
You kind of have to know Tucker to understand just how funny this picture is, but he is VERY animated and is constantly making crazy noises and just being loud. This picture seems to capture it well.The original idea was to hide them at home and be done with it, but between lots of soccer games and some pretty awful weather, we ended up taking them with us on the trip. We had a great time hiding them on the beach.
This was an interesting day at the beach since it turns out, there was an earthquake while we were there. We didn't feel it, though. But we did see whales right by the shore. I don't know if this was a result of the quake or not- they seemed REALLY close to me. I've never seen whales in the wild that close up so it as a pretty awesome experience. Oliver made a little nest of his eggs.
Making a castle. (Tucker doesn't go far without his hat- backwards!!)
He was sure he could catch one of those seagulls.
Emmaline is always best at finding critters.
Lots of time together as a family was a great way to begin our California adventure.

So glad you were able to do go away and spend time together after such a loooonnnggg separation.
Looks like so much fun!
An Easter egg hunt on the beach sounds pretty unforgettable to me. I didn't know you guys saw whales. Very neat! I'm so glad that you have those pictures of Tucker in his red cowboy hat (although it would be hard NOT to have pictures of him since he wears it all the time). I just think it is so cute and you never know--one day he may wake up and decide never to wear it again!
What fun! So glad you guys had a great time!
