Easter Trip

So we were lucky enough for Christopher to have no classes Thursday, and have Friday and the following Monday as a holiday.  We took a vacation to the West side of the state for a wonderful Easter weekend.

We were so happy to have the best weather when we were there.  The sun was out 90% of the time and the temperature was upper 60's...PERFECT!  We took advantage and went to Marine Park where we met up with some friends and Christopher flipped rocks and played with the crabs.  Mason was asleep for the first 15 mins or so but he must have known where we were and woke up to enjoy the scenery.

Pop Pop was nice enough to keep our stroller company once Mason woke up...it didn't drive so well across the rocky beach.

  
We also had fun spending time with the Grandmas, we went to lunch at Lee's Diner on Thursday and had dinner and played Mexican Train Friday.  Pop Pop was so excited that he'd won, when we were thinking about being done he asked who was winning and when he was told it was him he agreed that it was a great time to stop.

We also decorated some Easter eggs which turned out beautiful.  We had some really good artistic techniques from Nana with finger painting the eggs into a tie-dye pattern, and Christopher using paper towels to paint a hard to dye spot.

For Easter Sunday after church Brianne, Eric and the girls were up so we watched them do one Easter egg hunt at Grandma B's. The girls were so excited every time they found an egg and were very excited to see candy and even money inside! Mason even decided to join in on the action.  He didn't really pick any eggs up, but after the hunt Christopher found an egg the kids had missed and Mason got that one.

The girls were given a bubble gun which they loved to use, they would run around and shoot it at people until everyone had been bubbled . Mason seemed to like it when he could actually focus and see the bubbles. Mason also got a gift from Grandma B that he wanted to hold and of course put directly into his mouth. He seemed to like it. I know he'll love it when he can sit and play in the bath and have his little fish swim around with him.

Kaylin and Lauren also had an Easter egg hunt at Nana and Pop Pop's.  They got so much candy I'm sure their parents are going to love it!  The girls also hung a few eggs on the tree to remember Papa, Grandpa Reid.  

Dinner was amazing and dessert was delicious.  It was an awesome time being able to be in Bellingham with family and have beautiful weather for an amazing Easter weekend.
