Bi-Coastal Easter

We were in Boston for Easter this year and it was extra special to spend the day with the Zicklers and the Byers.  The kids were anxious to see if the bunny would make a stop by the house in Boston and were pleasantly surprised to wake up on Easter morning to find that he made it!  He left sand buckets filled with goodies for everyone as well as some plastic eggs filled with treats for the parents to hide for an egg hunt.  We originally planned on going to church that morning but after the Byers' late arrival on Saturday night and a full day ahead of us, we made the decision to skip and just take time to reflect on the important and special reason for Easter on our own.  
Ella was helping Finn and Charlotte with their treats from the bunny!
After a delicious breakfast of french toast and eggs we walked across the street to a park where Paul and Lindsay hid the eggs for the hunt.
Aunt Lindsay, the Bunny, and Finn! 

 Everyone is anxiously awaiting the start of the egg hunt!
And, they're off!! Julia caught on real quickly!
Examining their loot after the hunt!  
LOVE this crew!!  
Happy first Easter sweet Charlotte!  
We stayed at the playground for awhile after to play.  It was a gorgeous day out!  
LOVE this crew, too!!  It was such a special day to spend with the Byers.  
And a funny one! Although, looks like Julia was ready with the funny face in the first one!
Val is such a dear, dear friend!!  She sent the picture to our Texas girlfriends to gloat that she was able to meet Charlotte!  
What better way to spend Easter Sunday than a Red Sox game at Fenway Park??  After the egg hunt and a quick lunch, we packed things up and made our way to downtown to see the Red Sox play the Tampa Bay Rays.  It was such a fun experience and brought back a lot of memories of my childhood attending the games with my family.  
Our seats were in the shade which worked out really well since it was sunny but was such a perfect day for a game.
The kids all loved it!! Especially the popcorn!! 
And, the ice cream!! 
Fun at the stadium!
After the game we were thankful to have Uncle Bruce and Bruce David come over to the house for dinner.  Joseph and Bruce David spent a good hour playing basketball in the driveway while we caught up with Uncle Bruce and got dinner ready. We were so honored to have them come to Boston to cheer Rich on and to spend more time with us after our visit with them in NY as well.  It is always such a treat to spend time with them and was the perfect ending to our Easter. 
The Bunny actually made a stop at our home in San Diego as well so the kids were excited to search for their baskets once we returned from the trip!  It was definitely something fun to look forward to after the flight home and the kids received new pool noodles, finger paints, hair accessories and flip flops for the girls and Pokemon figurines for Joseph so everyone was happy.  The kids all found the baskets pretty easily so next year the bunny will have to be a bit more sneaky!
Happy Easter!!!
