Easter and a visit to Gilroy Gardens

Sofia, Benjamin and Alexandra at Gramma's house for Easter egg hunting. The cousins were dressed so nicely, we didn't manage to get Kajsa in the picture though.
The next weekend we visited Gilroy Gardens for a day of fun rides. Kajsa was so excited to be a big girl and go on rides by herself :-)
Kajsa thought the carousel was really neat, but she didn't want to sit on the horse without mamma!
Sofia smiled and said please so nicely that Grampa just had to get her an icecream cone, however all she ate was the chocolate on the outside!
Here's our little big girl, Kajsa riding a fire engine. She was so proud of herself!

Lots of fun!

We've had lots of fun lately and been pretty busy with all sorts of stuff. We've had fun in the snow up in Truckee, visited Storyland and Playland in Fresno, dug out the massive tree stump out of our front yard and more. Here are some picture highlights :-)Snow dog! Drake loves the snow in Truckee. He bounces around like Bambi!
Sofia and Kajsa riding the ladybug at Rotary Playland in Fresno. Kajsa was enthralled with this ride because it was pretty much the only one she was big enough for and she insisted on going on it 3 times in a row!
Kajsa's new idea of being goofy is trying to be a dog and pick up stuff with her mouth. She'll get down on all fours and pick up stuffed animals, her snuggly and here she's eating grapes - very funny and cute!
The stump is officially out! Ryan worked for a day and a half hacking at the roots with an axe, digging and levering and finally it came out. He was pretty sore after! Now we have an entirely new problem and that is that there are 2 sprinkler lines we've broken off that went underneath the stump, so the hole is still there. It's filled with water which the neigborhood birds love. They can drink, take a bath and fluff their feathers in the dirt!
I'd just come home from the grocery store and unpacked everything and suddenly there was a cucumber thief on the loose! Note to self: buy 2 cucumbers next trip :-)
