They also love playing BINGO where I think everyone is a winner every round. This was Jason's first year to play his own card, since he now recognizes all of the numbers through the O column.
After the picnic, we traveled to Los Gatos for a quick visit and it was the first time our kids have dyed eggs! We always do an egg hunt, but we never use hard boiled eggs. But the kids enjoyed the process of decorating, so who knows, maybe this will become part of our festivities in the future.
The Fresno State library has an exhibit on the Japanese internment camps, so even though the kids are on break, it was a wonderful way to teach them about this important part of history.
April 13th has become Pie for Breakfast day and it's officially on our calendar, so we enjoyed some strawberry pie on the 13th!
I took the kids to Boss Baby... and I was pleasantly surprised to hear lots of laughter coming out of our babies.
Earlier in the week, the forecast was for rain on Easter, but fortunately, the weather held up and the kids were able to do their big egg hunt. I don't know how many more years of egg hunts we have in store, but we always think back to when Kara was little and the only way to get her to take a nap was to bribe her with an egg hunt when she woke up. I think we had plastic eggs circulating through May in those days.
The plastic eggs are already back in their box on a shelf, but the joy of the hunt will stay with them, and with me, for a good while.
