Family Easter Trip to SOLVANG, CA...

All of these pics are backwards of course from the end of our trip down to the beginning!

These Big Huge tress lined the highway from Solvang into Santa Barabara...



Maddie's Birthday Cake (a bit early) at Aunt Kathys House in Paso Robles... It was a fun dinner and visit... Thanks Aunt kathy, Kyra & Brad!

A fun park in Buelton or Solvang... either way the parks there are AWESOME!!!!! So much to do for FREE! The kids had a blast and each park seemed better than the last...

So Graceful a throw Kaitlin! Daron wants to play catch with everyone and is trying to get in practice anywhere possible... he starts football in August!

I LOVE this family!

A stroll to get used to this sand stuff...

Breaking out the sand toys...

Pink Trash and Treasures... great place for some girl shopping!

Taking a ride around Solvang as a family! This bike was so much fun and we worked up a good appetite for sure! We stopped and shopped, got a bunch of danich cookies at Mortensons Bakery to munch on, checked out the local drama theater, and ate lunch at a German Restaurant called the Red Viking!

Daron was so excited to get outside one night for a game that he ran right into a closed sliding glass door... :(

A game of "would you rather" and yummy hot chocolate!

Emmy taking a much needed nap on the highway between Santa Barbara and Solvang...

Another GREAT park!

He's my main squeeze!!! He sure takes good care of us!

Loved all of the pretty flowers!

The first night we got there kevin had planned a picnic dinner for us, complete with fresh strawberries from the Farmers market (laurens favorite), cheetos, doritos, sub sandwiches, avacados, and drinks... out in a meadow in the mountains... I was creeped out because it was SOOOOO dark, but he and the kids had a great time!

An Ostrich farm that we drove by everyday... there were LOTS of them!

This was the BEST family trip we've taken in a long time!!! Thanks to Kevin for planning so well and treating us to a good time for Easter!!!!
