We started the day off with the first annual Bunny Hop 5 mile race. The race began at the Williamson fruit ranch and climbed two big hills through orchards and vineyards. This year the race was invite-only, but look for a big event in the future. Karen, Bev, Justin and Cider ran the course while Sprout and I worked as the support crew. Here is a picture of Sprout working the first water station. She really likes playing with rocks.
After passing the first water station, the girls headed off through Ste Chapelle winery.
I think Cider may have been the most enthusiastic competitor in the race.
Here we are at the finish line, and the winner is.... Justin. This picture provides a good display of Justin's tech savvy (or obsession, depending upon how you look at it). Right hand: phone providing tunes for his wireless headset. Left wrist: GPS. Chest: heart monitor.
We had Easter dinner with our family at John and Mary's house. I tried to get a nice picture of Elena sporting her Easter atire (thanks to Nana and Heather), but she was uncooperative. This was the best I could do.......
...Before she decided that the photo shoot was over. I love this picture, as it shows just how difficult it is to get a nice picture of a toddler.
In other news, Karen asked me to watch Elena outside while she made dinner on Saturday. This is what happens when Mom isn't around to supervise:

That is what kids are supposed to do when they are outside. Parents don't always like it but we have to admit getting dirty is in a kid's job description. I guess it also helps if while getting dirty they give their parents an aneurysm. -Matt
