Spring Break

One week - a lot of pictures.

We escaped to the Eastern Shore for a few days, and soaked up this view.  

Captian Bob's house is such a refuge - my kids are never bored.  Will was in Thomas heaven.

It was pretty cold for April, but Will was determined to eat breakfast on the porch.  We even got out in the canoe!

After dinner one night - down by the bay ;).

The Andrew's.

Dinner at Ava's - a must.


Getting the littles out for their first canoe ride.



The big boys were of course pro's.
Buds.

Ready to geo-cache!

We found one!

On the hunt in Easton.

A hole in the wall fish taco place.


Some of the crew went birdwatching at Blackwater Wildlife refuge.  This mama enjoyed a quiet afternoon reading and napping overlooking the water.  Truly a birthday treat!

The Crab Claw.

First time our boys have had crabs - much to my surprise, they LOVED them.

These two.

Silliness.


Over the weekend, and headed out to Rocklands Farm to pick up our Easter chicks.

We picked two, and got to take care of them for the week.  One of ours wasn't doing too well by the time we got home.  Thankfully there was a replacement the next morning ;).

Farmer Greg gave great instructions on how to care for them.


Janis gave us the behind the scenes tour of all the new updates they've been making.  The boys were thrilled to be served cokes from the bar - I THINK maybe their first cokes??  Dick and Jeanie were in town from AZ, so we had fun showing them around!

Janis and I had the realization that I'm almost the age she was the Summer I lived with their family (and met Dave...the Summer of love, as they call it).


Playing with our chicks!!!

Tia and Martin joined the fun too - such a fun day.


I love this as much as the kids.

We love this place!

That night we met up with some family for pizza to celebrate my birthday.  

OC cousins at a nearby artists house.

Proof that we decorate eggs.

Easter morning.

Lunch at the Choi's - we love this tradition.

Cuteness.

The littles lined up and ready to hunt.

Helping each other out, I think.

Big guys, ready to go.


Easter family pic 1.

This is more like it.

That face.

Easter dinner - downtime with cousins.

Will loves his K-bear.

The chicks came too :).

Kids table.

I always forget to take pictures of the crew!  Table 1...

And table 2.  

Another egg hunt.

Happy cousins.

And then back to school - but continuing to soak up Spring, and these sweet little chicks!
