Happy easter!

We started off easter early when Cameron woke up and the easter bunny hid eggs outside on the playground in the back yard. The kids were very excited to get up and got ready together nicely, "charlie do you need any help picking out clothes?", "Heather I'll go to the bathroom after you.." if only it were always that easy. They peeked out the window and were estatic to see eggs in the yard. After rummaging through their easter baskets they were ready to go look for eggs. 43 eggs each later they were done and getting dressed for church. We went on base which gave us the chance to get out on the island afterwards for a hike. Armed with a backpack for Cameron, PBJ, and a few fruit snacks we headed out to the middle where it doesn't feel at all like you're on an island. It was threatening to drizzle but we headed off anyway. The kids did great and it got sunny for a while. We hiked over lava rocks, in a lush forest kind of setting, and cow fields--yes with cows!! About halfway through it started sprinkling and was on and off the rest of the way. By the time we left it was 51 out (it was 66 to start) and chilly. The kids were troopers though and said that they would like to do the hike again another time. It was labeled "hard" due to some of the climbing around the lava rocks and unsure footing but it was really fun.

Cameron is sitting up really well now and playing with toys from a seated position. He hates to be on his back and will roll to his tummy within a matter of seconds when placed on his back unless there is something above him to play with. He isn't crawling but can pretty much get anywhere somehow. He doesn't roll but uses his belly as an axis and swirls and scoots. He's never in the same place we left him...
