Spring break trip to WA

For spring break we hit the road and drove 14+ hours to Puyallup, WA to see our families.

McDonald's always seems to be a part of our road trips.

We finally got to attend my mom's Easter Egg hunt for her grandkids and my cousin's children. We had a lot of fun!

The weather was gorgeous, and we had some good outdoor time. This is Orting River.

Here we are at Owen Beach.

Audrey got some girl cousin time, which she needs after living with two brothers! This is Audrey and Jamie.

This is McKenna, Audrey and Lindsey.

 We also had a successful Rood family picture, Mr. B and I got to attend the Seattle temple, and we got some nice time with our parents and family.

Happy birthday Ian!

Ian had a great birthday and on the weekend had a wonderful Minecraft themed birthday at our home. All his dreams came true.

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and Mystery Spot

We spent President's day having a fun family outing, hiking in the Redwoods State Park and touring the Mystery Spot. 

February

Mr. B took Audrey to the Daddy daughter dance at school. Fun!

Declan found his Luigi costume from Halloween and wore it as often as possible this month, especially after attending a friend's Mario themed birthday party.

Wow for Declan! Meeting his heroes at said birthday party.

Me too!

I found this fun tee shirt--my ideal weekend would be to snuggle up and read.

Mr. B took Audrey and Ian to Point Lobos while I took Declan to yet another birthday party one Saturday.

Mr. B has been loving his beach runs! 

January

Our library has a program every Wednesday afternoon: Wacky Wednesday, which involves some stories, a science experiment, dancing, and crafts. We go whenever we can! These pictures are from a snow themed activity.

One day in early January we went to the Aquarium and stopped by this pirate on Cannery Row for a pirate impression opportunity. 

I guess January was uneventful--that's all I've got!
