Easter Weekend

Easter was a very quick trip up North to see Eric's mom.  We love it where she lives so any chance we get to go to see her, we are there!!  We are very fortunate that she lives on the Saratoga Passage which is right before the San Juan Islands AND right next to the Skagit Valley where they are known for the growing the beautiful tulip and daffodil fields.  It is absolutely breath-taking.  This trip we were in between peak seasons of the daffodils and the tulips, but it was still incredible to see the seas of yellow from the daffodil fields.

Have you EVER seen a bigger daffodil?

A daffodil field---I just love the Red Barn in the background.  You should see what it looks like with fields of color from the tulips---INCREDIBLE

I made E smile!
Eric fixing his mom's tacky Easter lights.  She has tacky lights for every holiday.  It is pretty funny to see what she has up every holiday!

I LOVE my mother-in-law and fell so lucky and blessed to have her in my life.  She is so good to me and is always so accommodating when we visit.  We wish we could just see her more.
