Hanging with the Bischoffs





Eric, Brooke, Sydney and Carson came to visit from Boston on a last trip before making the move back to the West Coast and we had so much fun.  These are some pictures from a day when we went to Roosevelt Island and took a little nature hike around the island.  Ethan and Sydney have so much fun together, we are sad they will be so far away!

Easter



Our Easter tradition (which came from my family) is that we hide a fun easter basket with toys and prizes and candy on Easter morning and Ethan has to find it.  So here he is finding his easter basket.  He is so handsome in his little Easter outfit!

Easter Eggs!



Our play group had a fun Easter Egg hunt.  He loved it and probably got more than his fair share of eggs.  Here is also a picture of Ethan and Dad coloring easter eggs together.  

Cherry Blossoms



Cherry Blossom time is hands down my favorite time of year in DC.  This year we went to see the Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin with our ward play group and had a great time.  The walk around the tidal basin is quite a ways, but it is so gorgeous and the combination of the monuments, the water and the cherry blossoms is amazing.  If you have never seen it before, it is a must see!

Kite Festival



We went to the kite festival on the National Mall and had such a great time.  It was still a little chilly (this was in March), but it was a blast.  They gave away these small kites, so we had fun playing with that.  And Ethan loved seeing the kites so much we were inspired to go out and buy our own kite, which we flew with limited success the next day at home!
