We went down to Los Banos to visit Nana and Papa the weekend before Easter. We had such a nice visit. Gabriela and Easton spent lots of time with their cousin Andrew. And Auntie Theresa and I decided that we needed to have a little Easter egg hunt in Nana's backyard.
Easton, Andrew, and Gabriela lined up with their baskets, ready to go. Easton knew exactly what to do. He found the eggs and put them in his little basket right away!
There were a couple eggs with dollar bills in them, and Easton scored them all. We saw Gabriela pick one of those eggs up, shake it, and put it back when it didn't make any sounds. I guess it's no surprise that she ended up with nearly all of the jelly bean eggs.
When I see this picture of these two, it reminds me of their
egg hunt from two years ago, and how they looked like babies. How are these kiddos growing so quickly, and why won't they slow down, already???
Easton had so much fun collecting eggs, he was in for a real treat when he realized that they had fun things like bunny crackers and bunny gummies inside! Nana's yard was the perfect place to relax and enjoy those goodies.
After the egg hunt, Uncle Matthew graciously agreed to watch Easton while we went to see Oz with my mom and Auntie Theresa. It was really fun for the kids to see a movie together in the theater.
The next day, while playing outside the kids discovered a lizard. They had fun checking him out.
Lane caught him and held him so the kids could have a close look at the lizard and his belly.
This lizard really wanted attention from the kids, and he sure got it. He was jumping on them and didn't run away. Gabriela admired him while he rested for a little bit on her knee.
But then things got crazy and they decided the lizard needed some outfits, so they started putting flower petals on him.
And then it was time for a wardrobe change.
Look at my brave girl! I am so glad she was totally interested in the lizard, curious and brave, instead of scared around him.
She even stopped so I could take a photo of the lizard after he jumped into Gabriela's hair. Yeah, I would have freaked out.
