Weekend with Cousins!
this past weekend we spent having fun with our family. Grandma and Grandpa had all our family over to their house for a Stup-Egg-dous Celebration and Easter egg hunt! the kids also had fun chasing bubbles, decorating eggs and watching Uncle Chris's egg-bot decorate eggs. See how tired Alex and Rebecca were after such a fun afternoon! The following day, we went to Temecula to have lunch together at Masia de Yabar and then go on a wine tour of Miramonte Winery, courtesy of Tia Lisett and Tio Nick. See how much fun Alexander had playing with Nicky at Masia!
Happy Birthday Grandpa Mike (@ NHM)
To celebrate Grandpa's birthday, we went with Grandpa, Abuelita, Tia Suzi's family and Tio Nick's family to the LA Natural History Museum! We saw the beautiful dioramas of animals from different areas, dinosaur fossils (even had a Dinosaur Encounter with a baby triceratops), living bugs and insects (including a millipede and hissing cockroach up close, which he would not touch), and gems and minerals. Alex also got to see under a microscope and through a telescope and binoculars!

someone is/was excited about the hotel!
If you're going to San Francisco ...
be sure to first take a nap! Ha! Here's our lil boy, just after running around the Buttonwillow Rest Area off the 5 on our way to San Francisco for our Chavarela Family Vacation. In the first picture he's using his super-power to stop the rain from falling so hard (he needs to work on that) and then in the second pic he shows just how tired he is after we woke him up at 6am this morning to get on the rode.

We had another wonderful experience with family in California. More generosity and love put us further along with preparation for blueberry's arrival. Click the cake to see the photos.

We're currently around 30,000 feet in the air as we head to Arizona and have a shower with the family out there. A short trip (we're back on Sunday) but filled with fun, I'm sure!
So far the kid's a good flyer!
