Springtime in Boise



Cecilia is ready for 1 of 3 Easter Eggs hunts this season



But first she must use the clues left by the Easter Bunny to find eggs around our house







The line up before the hunt





Post-hunt fun



Planting sunflower seeds with Gramma



Keeping her brother entertained while mama cooks dinner






Balloons just may be this girl's best friend



Two cute chefs



One cute boy






Two sweet kids



Spending the night at Grama & Grampa's house is the best!





"See ya tomorrow, Mom"

Spring Break Road Trip 2013 - San Francisco or Bust




Coziest ride in the car



Surprising Steen Mountains



Oregon/Nevada Border- Our children's first visit to a casino



First overnight- Reno, baby!
Cecilia spotted the grand Atlantis hotel from a mile away-
our children's 2nd, and hopefully last, visit to a casino.



Feeding break just outside of Sac-town







We made it to Berkeley!
Cecilia quickly fell in love with the park across from Brandon & Laura's pad



Mmmm, salmon & asparagus



Picking lessons



Playing with Laura in the gnome forest



Kite flying at the marina



We attracted a winged friend



Cecilia spots the Golden Gate



Atticus flies a kite



Great Ethiopian spread with injera (not "sponge bread")



Riding the BART
(with a little peeping Atticus)



Cool man



Can you find Cecilia at the Yerba Buena Park?



Spotted



Overcoming a two year fear



This family is happy to be in the Bay Area!



"I love this place, mama!"



Thanks for the fun times, Brandon & Laura!



Last hike through the fog into the eucalyptus forest



Above the fog



A zen moment

And just for fun...
Cecilia & the BOB in the Bay Area:








people watching on the BART is so much fun





A wander through Chinatown on our way to the Wharf.
Yes, even though we lived in this city and know all of it's greatest nooks we still hit up the tourist hot spots.
 









When living in Boise, one must visit a Trader Joe's before heading home
