Easter

Easter morning began early, like every morning in our house. Harrison was thrilled to see that the Easter bunny had come during his sleep, leaving carrots, a few brightly colored treats, and eggs scattered throughout the yard begging to be found.  The hunt was on,

and after a few precious moments all dozen eggs were found

and ready to be dyed (the Easter bunny was rather particular about dyeing the eggs after the hunt).

The eggs were soon turned into brilliant paintbox colors while Andy cooked up a mini-breakfast of pancakes to stave off the morning hunger.

We then packed up and headed to the beach...with a stop before at Swammy's for our favorite acai bowl.

With a brilliant sun overhead, and warm sand below, we soaked in every moment of this perfect day!

Lucia was beyond thrilled to finally get her hands dirty in the sand, 

and Harrison loved digging, climbing, and watching the pelicans fly in formation over the breakers.

Our little boy found the perfect rock to climb  up and slide down,

and Lucia loved her vantage point from Daddy's lap.

After nap time, we loaded up the stroller with blankets, hors d'oeuvres and chilled Rosé, and walked to the park for a lovely evening picnic.  

We ate, we played, we danced, and we think we spotted the Easter bunny hopping away and heading home after his busy day.
