The return to Eagle Rock w/ fave hiking buddy J! J’s mom really wanted to do it again too but she wasn’t feeling well that day. Next time!

Rock climbing as usual!

To Mommy’s dismay, we are 2 for 2 coming across a snake on this trail. :(( But at least both times she avoided looking at them.

These two, on the other hand, were ecstatic to spot the slithering wildlife.

Daddy on the rock.

Spot the bovine?

Another J’s bday. :)

Always monkeying around, haha.

First Easter in our new community and our neighbors invited us over for lunch (which ended up to be also dinner, lol). The kids’ table…

Our nice spring spread.

Apparently this streudel is famous in SD.

Right before the egg hunt.

Loot o’eggs!

Some youth vs. adults volleyball… in the to-be-landscaped dirt, haha.

This new malasada/mochi donut place opened so we got a box for the boys and a box for friends.

Mommy attempted making laksa.

And niu rou mein. :D

Science Day at school. We brought J along, though he doesn’t go to the same school anymore. :((

Teeny tiny crab!

Trying out the sailboats they built… E appreciated the sailing theme.

Oculus fun at the library… They had different apps than the one we have it home.

The new neighborhood park is coming along nicely. Obstacle course looks pretty fun!

Blooms of the season…

First time at the San Diego Museum of Art… on a Resident’s Free Tuesday. Can’t believe it’s taken us this long!

Mommy loves Miró! Thinking back to seeing good collections in Japan and Spain.

Abstract appreciation passed down from Mama. :)

Considering these mobiles for home accents. :) Primary color love!

Then it was off to Big Bear for Spring Break! Stopped for matcha and soft serve.

And our fave TW cafe in Temecula.

We didn’t get Ikon passes last season due to our move but we renewed them for next season, which included use of them in the spring for select resorts, which is why we ended up in Big Bear. (Much prefer Mammoth, though!)

Guess who on the far right?

And then it DUMPED overnight.

We brought two snowballs back for our neighbors who have NEVER seen snow in real life. ;-P

This snowball maker that we got in Utah years has come in clutch!

Big Bear gets boring pretty fast so we spent more time than usual at the terrain park.

E liked this drawing! It’s always nice to be back on the slopes…
