Easter Weekend (Part 1)

We had some nice weather for Easter weekend and we made the best of it.


We started bright and early Saturday morning with an Easter egg hunt at our favorite garden store. Owen and Rachel were very excited (mostly Rachel).

Henry slept.

Finding lots of eggs.

Distracted by a fountain.

I tried to get them to smile.  Rachel decided to be an Easter chocolate pirate instead.

Owen loves to be just like his sister!

Next, we headed to the west side of town to a strawberry farm.  They had some chickens to hold so we checked them out.  At first, Rachel said she did not want to touch the chickens but she ended up doing a really good job holding them.

Henry slept (although he did get hungry shortly after this picture and ate)

They also had a sand mountain with a slide that the kids really enjoyed.

Big boy at the bottom of the tunnel slide.

Rachel also slid straight down the hill.

They are getting so tall!

We are pretty sure Rachel and Owen weigh about the same at this point.  He is still about 6 inches shorter.

Strawberry picking (actually cutting - they provided scissors).

Rachel did a great job.

She even let Owen throw some in the bucket even though he did not get to use the scissors.

Enjoying the fruits of her labor.

The little train ride was fun as well.

Of course, the farm had a tractor.

Not quite big enough to take it for a drive.
