Easter at the Beach

We celebrated Easter at the beach this year. It was a quick trip, but we had a great time and enjoyed the wonderful weather. Easter was really fun this year with Brock and Theo. They both enjoyed hunting for eggs. Brock was hiding and finding eggs all weekend long! We walked down to Capitola Village (mainly because we were headed to the beach anyways) to do the egg hunt they organize on the beach. This is the first time we have done an organized egg hunt. As much as I try to embrace the kids stuff...I just can't get into crowding around a feild of eggs (not hidden) and have hundreds of kids and thier parents race to pick them up....sorry, but I can't! Brock was totally not impressed either, so I'm glad we are on the same page! It is hard to believe people come from all over, brave the crowds, and take up a whole morning to do that. You couldn't pay me! I loved when the parents were freaking out after the hunt when their kids were getting wet and sandy at the beach...imagine that! Hilarious. Sorry for my little rant about egg hunts :)

The favorite things to do at the beach this trip were playing in the river and tide pools. Stomping on the sand cliffs to get the sand to fall in the river was a big hit and a little scary :) Then Brock spent hours in the tide pools pretending it was his aquarium and taking great care that each creature had food and was happy - so cute! Theo just liked stomping through tiny pools of warm water - just his size.
