Idaho for Easter

On the way to my parents home in Idaho we saw a small herd of buffalo on the road near Yellowstone.  We weren't in the park, just on the northern border, but I have see more wildlife on that road than ever in the park. 

It was some much needed distraction/excitement in the last couple of hours of a long day of driving.  Even Tirzah could see them from her carseat and for a while afterward she would point to the window and babble.

Of course we hiked the Butte while we were there.  It is becoming a spring tradition for our Idaho visits.  The kids are getting pretty good and can go up and down by themselves, with Olivia as their trusty guide.  They do it much quicker than I do carrying a baby. 

It was my birthday while we were there (I wonder who planned that!) and I chose Big Juds for my birthday dinner.  My mom was a little shocked, but I insisted.

Here is the one pound hamburger I ordered (and shared!).

Tirzah is enjoying a french fry with a silly grin.

Grandpa and Zach pulled Tirzah around on this horse and she loved it.

Smiling for Grandpa's picture.

The kids found their Easter baskets when we got home from church.  The Easter bunny had hidden them all around outside.
Wow the Easter bunny sure loves you!

He must love you too, your basket is loaded.

The kids baskets had kites, bubbles, seach and find books and coloring books in them.

Waiting for someone to say "GO!"

Let the HUNT begin!

Searching high-

-and low for the last egg.

They thought they didn't want to participate, but really they did.

Look at the awsome egg I found!

My bag is so full of Easter eggs it is bursting open!

It was a very succesful hunt for Rylie.

Tirzah got to have her eggs handed to her on the blanket.  She is still not sure about the feel of grass on her bare feet.

Nana had an Easter Bunny store the kids got to shop in with money from their eggs.  Zach was thrilled with this Spiderman kickboard.

Tirzah even got to open some birthday presents while we were in Idaho.

Thanks Nana and Grandpa-I love books!

They gave her books and summer hats.

I love birthdays, how long until I get another one?
