Easter fun!

Satruday, while exploring neighborhoods, we stopped by Bayside church to give my mom a tour, get a beverage, and let the boys play on the playground for a little bit.  This is a picture of the boys in front of Bayside's courtyard.  Saturday night, we read the Easter story from the Bible and decorated eggs. Easter baskets waiting for the boys Easter morning... We went to The Fountains mall and got our morning beverages at Peet's.  The boys played on the playground and we enjoyed a beautiful morning.  Can you spot David in thei picture? self portrait of me and mom... 'R' and the fountain... We spent a good part of the day exploring neighborhoods.  Check ot this rock that was in one of them! Another intersting thing about this area, is all the wildlife.  Even though this area is quite developed, there are many protected wetlands and open spaces.  So far, we have seen frogs, lizards, grasshoppers, doves and other birds, deer, and get this...  ring necked pheasant and wild turkeys!  Here is a turkey that had just crossed in front of us while driving.  (I am serious.  This is not a Photoshopped  picture!) We had luch at Chili's and the boys were thrilled to learn that a side option was corn on the cob! While driving through another neighborhood, we got out to look at a house that we have had our eye on for a while.  In the garden, next to the sidwalk, I found this in the bark.  It's a birds nest!  It was so perfect and so beautiful, I had to take a picture, but I did not take it. We set up an egg hunt for the boys... Here is our Easter Sunday spread.  No one wanted to cook, and David suggested each person request one item they wanted to eat.  So, we had a fabulouse, funky spread, and yes....those are Cheetos, as requested per 'R'.  ('A' asked for prawns...that's my boy...:))
