This year for Easter we were ready to head to the beach and for a little time with Grandma and Grandpa Dunyon! What more could a kid and grandkid ask for?
We took off Thursday evening and spent our weekend playing at the San Clemente Beach one day -
The weather was perfect and the company was even better!
Love a little Grandma time
And of course, there was plenty of sand digging,
playing in the waves,
some sister bonding in the sand boat,
and sibling bonding being made into Merpeople
And, of course, we had to have a pajama trip to Frappy's Frozen Yogurt with Grandpa! And yes, it must be in your pajamas. That's what makes Frappy's taste so good. Thanks Grandpa!
The next day, we took the canoes out in Dana Point Harbor. Our last adventure here was on Paddle Boards where Kate, Lizzie and I got caught up in the wind, lost control of our boards and thought we were floating out to sea. So I was impressed that these girls were adventurous to try these canoes. Maybe it's because their daddy was with them this time. We all feel a little safer with our daddy around.

And how can you go to the beach without a smushy face picture?
We ended our trip with a stop at Royal Burgers (a Dunyon family favorite place to have Burgers, where the owners know Grandpa Dunyon too well!). Yum!

Easter morning was perfect. Beautiful weather, a morning at church, listening to amazing speakers (which I actually got to listen to), sitting in on my dad's gospel principle lesson, and feeling right at home in the ward that I grew up in. I loved every minute of it!
Then we came home, had a amazing dinner by Grandma. But then again, when she cooks, what isn't amazing? A short FHE lesson about the symbols of Easter and what they represent, and then the beloved basket hunt and egg hunt.
The table was perfectly set for this royal family! Grandma treats us like royalty every time we come home.
This year, we hid Cole's basket so well, it took ALL the men in the house to find it! In fact, Cole opened the cupboard it was hidden in a few times before he finally found it! HA!
Grandma's backyard is a perfect place to hide all the eggs for these little ones. Grandpa even hid some big bills in a few of the eggs. Lucky for Kate, she ended up getting $30 in cash! What?!?!? Lucky girl! Let's take her to Vegas!

Counting our eggs!
Kate - the lucky winner!
Max and Luke got a new swim suits in their baskets and they had to show them off!
And then, the kids had to indulge me with a few fun pictures to remember this perfect Easter day.
It took quite a few tries to get a good one, but I think we were able to capture the cuteness of each one of these people. Oh, how I love them and spending time with them.
I am so grateful that I have such loving and kind parents who have taught me so much through their example and sacrifice. That over the years, I know that I could be a handful at times, they still love me and want me to come home and spend time with them. They are truly the best example I could have asked for and couldn't be a happier mother, wife, and daughter. So grateful for the Savior and his sacrifice, so that I could be sealed to this family for eternity!
