For Easter this year, our cousins Dave & Carolyn drove up from San Diego to spend the holiday with us. The Easter bunny came and left baskets for everyone (including Mom & Dad and Dave & Carolyn)... Virginia's and John's were once again hidden somewhere in the house and they followed their clues to find their treats. After church (during which Dave was so awesome as to clean all the Easter grass off the floor!!!) we had a big brunch including a hash brown quiche from Carolyn which I will DEFINITELY be making again very soon.

The week after Easter was V & J's spring break. We had a really great week... we spent enough time at home for the kids to play and relax. On Tuesday, Chris took a half day and we went to the (totally free!) California Science Center and the Exposition Park rose garden and had dinner at Zankou Chicken (yum-o). Thursday, Chris took the whole day off and we hit the beach. It was a perfectly beautiful day, aside from the globs of tar on the beach which we are still cleaning off our feet. Luckily Chris found that kerosene takes tar off bathing suits and V's brand new suit was not totally ruined (now it just smells weird). Friday we had a day long playdate with friends at home, the park and Taco Bell. We rounded out spring break with another track meet and celebrating Virginia's real 7th birthday by opening gifts and going to Panda Express (where else?) for dinner on Sunday). Her real birthday was on Monday and she brought a treat to school and we decorated special cupcakes after school.

End of March Stuff
I had no idea (until the day before the first practice) that first graders could run track... but they can and I thought this was the perfect first team sport for Virginia. She loves to run! She enjoys both the practices and the meets. In the 3/21 and 3/27 pictures you will see photos and some videos of her first two track meets. The highlight so far is her first place finish in the 400m on 3/27!
Also in the 3/21 set are pictures from our trip to San Diego (right after V's first meet) to visit with our cousins Dave and Carolyn as well as Mike, Michele and Theo who were in town. Chris got to go out on the town with the boys Sat night and then make up for his lost sleep on the beach on Sunday. The beach was a pretty spot, with a grassy park area rights behind the sand and the kids had a great time in the sand and running around on the grass while the grown ups visited.
And finally in the 3/27 set are pictures from our double birthday party at the bowling alley! Sixteen kids celebrated Virginia's 7th and John's 4th birthday with us and we all had a great time bowling, and eating pizza and bowling birthday cake! And I must say I really enjoyed NOT cleaning my house before the party. :)
