Mom's visit: We had a great time with my mom a couple weeks ago. I'm just a little behind getting them on the blog.Adeline loves sunglasses, playing in water, and wearing her brothers new hat.

She also loves bubbles.


The kids, my mom and I stayed at the beach one night and McKinley had a great time feeding the seagulls from our balcony. I had a great time attempting to photograph them!

It was sunny on the beach, but windy and cold. Not that it bothered the Sander kids! The love the beach!

"Mom! This is my heart-sun for you!"

(I like to think of it as "heart-son")

Addie loved climbing on these rocks.

Note her abundance of purple, including purple flipflops.

The girl loves purple and thankfully, has a purple jacket or she would never wear a jacket.

Mac wrote his name in the sand for the first time!

(He writes the letters in the correct order, just backwards.)

Thes big long strings of sea grass entertain him for hours!

We love their annual tulip festival, complete with Cow Train.

There's no pictures of the cow train this year because my camera battery died. Some of these were taken with the camera on my phone, so the quality is not the greatest.

Mac and I rode the cow train, Clarabell, again this year, through all the muck and mud. SO fun!

Hilarious! That's my mom on the left, then Mac, then Adeline.

Mac loved these water pumps!

Holding some sort of fried Mexican chips.

Looking at the spiders in the window of the little windmill.

Happy Easter!

We actually got a picture of the kids with "the Easter Bunny!"

Mac told me that he's not afraid of the Easter Bunny with a painted face.

Addie, clearly, is still not so sure.

real eggs, hidden outside!

Easter breakfast - bacon, deviled eggs, apples, and Easter waffles with peaches, marionberry syrup and whipped cream.

A littel Easter walk.

The kids got new Keens from Papa and Nana and they love them!
