Ethan loved Tanaka farms, he was so intrigued about how food was really grown in the ground. He was not a huge fan of tasting all the yummy fresh food that we had the opportunity to sample, except the carrotts. For some reason, all he wanted was to try the carrotts. That and pick the strawberries.
We also had the 2nd annual Red Rail Easter egg hunt which was so much fun. It was bigger and better this year and all the kids were really into it. In fact I think Ethan still wanders around the bushes looking for stray eggs! Ethan also experienced his first Seder, thanks to my mother who cooked it all and helped to start to "pass down" some of her secret recipes.
As any good little brother, Eli tagged along to all of the busy events and festivities. He was a real trooper. Despite getting an ear infection, he has been doing great and now eats everything in sight. He is not officially crawling yet but it really close. Even the little bit he does move gives him a whole new sense of freedom. As excited as I am for him to crawl, I am dreading that next phase of babyproofing and monitoring.
Our little tradition when Meme leaves is to have dinner at the airport on the patio which overlooks the runway. It is a win-win for everyone, Ethan is endlessly entertained by the planes and the adults can actually eat their meals in peace and quiet. Then we say our tearful goodbyes to Meme and the kids fall asleep in the car on the way home.
