With all our family members living out of state, the holidays attend to be kind of a hard time for us. So we try to come up with creative ways to enjoy them. So for Easter instead of hunting eggs and eating ham, we took off on a day trip to Forks, WA. (The home of twilight)
If you are wondering: Yes, I do like Twilight. There is probably better Twi fans then me *L* But i did enjoy the books and seeing the town. Seeing the town helped me visual places in books. It was quit cool. So if your not all hot for Twilight, i would say "Yes, go to Forks. Forks is surrounded by beautiful trees, mountains, and water. It will still be worth the trip" :)
But, we started doing Easter stuff on Saturday night. We took the boys to there first drive in movie in Auburn. It was quit nice. I didn't have to worry about anyone saying your kid is being ___________. We watched How To Train A Dragon. It was a really good movie.
Then on Sunday morning, i woke up thinking "Oh crap!", i had forgot to put together the boys Easter baskets. When i looked at the clock it was almost time for Joel to get up, so i couldn't put them together in the living room. I throw a blanket over Davids head (who was still sleeping lol) and flipped on the light and put them together, and just as soon as everything was in the baskets, Joel got up . I actually put him in his bed and told him "It wasn't time to get up yet." Kinda bad and mean of me ....But it bought me 10 mins to put the baskets out *L*
The boys enjoyed the baskets. With them being a little older (ages one and two), its fun to see them get excited over the things you get them :)
After the baskets and a lunch we set off to Forks, it was 6 hour round trip, We stooped in a few places. One of those places was Lake Crescent. Joel or Isaac had never seen a big lake before. So we got out. It was Beautiful.
We finally made it to Forks around 4pm. It was late, and of course it was raining. It being Easter and all lots of shops where closed. But we still drove around, We found Bella's truck. Had Twilight buggers and played in the rain...
We LOVE the drive-in. We can't wait to see How to Train Your Dragon!
