Easter at the Erkies


Easter was a lot of fun. We went up to Idaho to spend it with Cindy and her awesome family. It was interesting to see how different families celebrate this special holiday. My kids were a little confused about why the Easter bunny didn't leave a jellybean trail to the baskets. And it was interesting to hunt eggs in patches of snow. Overall, it was a very happy weekend. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked.... somebody (Jason) used up the battery in my camera. So, please enjoy the ones I did get.

















The Robin, Idaho Easter Egg Hunt was super!!!! They took a count of how many kids showed up and divided it up between how many eggs were hidden. Then they let each child find 11 eggs! It worked out great... everyone went home happy!

Harpers in California!


So, I am finally adding some pictures from our super-d-duper trip to California! Ya Hoo!!! The only problem is that there are so many pictures that I didn't know which ones to post. So I have attempted to do some slideshows. They are backwards on here from the way we took the pictures on our trip. I did try to split them up into theme parks. So, I think you'll find us in Hollywood on the walk of fame first and the flight home. The next set is of SeaWorld. Then you will find us at the San Diego temple and at La Jolla Beach. Then we will be at Universal Studios (I some how posted that twice, sorry!)

And then finally you will find us at Disney land. We actually started our trip in the LA area and spent our first three days at Disney and
California Adventure. We loved it!!! Rae was in princess heaven. It was really fun for her because we were there on her birthday. They gave her a badge to wear and everywhere we went the employees wished her "Happy Birthday" including all the princesses. The boys all had perma grins, unless I asked them to pose for a picture. We all had a great time. Then we went to Universal. It was cool to check out the back lots and of course, the boys loved the few rides and Rae loved the characters. We drove down to San Diego and spent the last three days there. The beach was super fun for the kids and by the time we finished Sea World, we were ready to come home. The day we flew home, we drove up to Hollywood to check out the stars. What an incredible fun time for our family. Hope you like the pictures below!
