Easter weekend

We spent Easter weekend in San Diego with Rob, Julie and Sam. We headed out to JTree for a couple days, for some hiking, bouldering, and tunneling through rocks.  Our trip included a night camping, during which we all actually slept.  I think that may be our first ever non-miserable night camping with Logan. There are a lot of things like this that finally seem easier, 3 months before I turn back the clock 2.5 years.

  We headed back to San Diego for the rest of the weekend, where our primary goals were to eat and go to the beach.  We managed to fit in Trader Joe's, fish tacos, In n Out burgers, and frozen yogurt at this magical place that let you serve yourself from 15 different flavors with unlimited re-fills and free samples and a giant toppings bar.  Its times like this, when we're so impressed with a big city concept like self serve frozen yogurt, that I realize we're turning into real country hicks. We also made a couple trips to the beach.  Mark got to surf, I spotted some dolphins, and Logan just spent the whole time trying to avoid the sand. We were at the beach in Florida just a month ago, and Logan loved it-- thought it was the ultimate sandbox.  This time he couldn't stand to have sand on him.  When I took his shoe off, he refused to put his foot down in the sand, and when he got sand on his hand he would hold it out to me with this look of disgust for me to wipe off.  Wierdo. He did like playing frisbee.  He makes a big production of getting in his stance, winding up, and it looks like he's going to just nail you.  The exciting part is you never know which direction its going to go and who its going to hit.  He can throw it a decent distance,though.

We decided to go to a community Easter Egg hunt, along with the rest of southern California.  There had to be a thousand people there.  I've never been to a community hunt before, so it was kind of fun to see the madness of a million kids running after eggs, and they had all sorts of jumpy castles and face painting and arts and crafts stations.  But you had to wait in line forever to do any of it.  I think in the future we'll stick to the back yard...

We headed home early Easter morning, and then we got home we had another Easter egg hunt.  You can never have too many Easter Egg hunts. 

Happy Easter!
