Easter weekend in Birch Bay

On the Saturday before Easter, we traveled a couple hours north to Birch Bay to spend the weekend with Grammy, Papa, and Aunt Katie. A detour on the drive up to pick up a baby book for Baby Sister (with some beautiful daffodil fields along the way) meant we arrived a little late in the afternoon. But Audrey was just in time to help Papa decorate some mini egg-shaped cakes for the next day. She needed to taste every color and of course, Papa was all to happy to oblige.

We also managed to dye a few Easter eggs. I was impressed that only one cracked.

Her most favorite activity of the weekend, however, was going to the beach. We were so happy to have such good weather (even more so since I forgot all of our coats at home - oops!). She probably could have spent the entire trip out there but a chilly wind and soaking clothes usually dictated shorter visits.

Since we were so close to the border we had to go see it at least once. I'm pretty sure the whole Canada/U.S. thing wasn't the coolest aspect of our trip for Audrey but I find it amusing to see how relaxed this border seemed compared to the one down south.

On our last day we went to a really cool park. Audrey thoroughly enjoyed her time in the trees and even took some time between swinging and slides to hug a few...I've taught her well.
