I don't know why, but my pictures keep loading wrong. So they're out of order again, but oh well.
Saturday night we dyed Easter Eggs. The girls had a blast. And we got to have multi colored deviled eggs for dinner the next night (how is it that the dye goes through the shell and should I be worried that we ate it?)
On Thursday, we headed out to Underwood Family Farm with some friends from Encino. It was a lot of fun. We walked around, fed the animals (thanks again Brooke for the carrots), and played played played in the sand. I think we took a least a bucket or two of sand home in our clothes. The girls were SO excited about riding the horses though. It was definitely the highlight of the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, we headed out on the 126 to find something to do. We stopped at a museum and took the tour. I can't remember the name of it, but it was interesting. It was basically just a really old house/plantation type tour. But at the end was this 150 year old Black Walnut tree that was just amazing. It's dying. You can see they are trying to save the branches, but I guess there isn't much they can do.
We also stopped at a fish hatchery and fed the rainbow trout. The girls thought this was AWESOME and SO much fun, even though it was basically a big concrete slab with thousands of fish in it. I guess these fish are grown here and then shipped out to rivers and lakes all over CA so that people have fish to catch when they go fishing. That's nature in CA for ya!
Friday was kind of a down day. We were all tired from the busy week. Plus, on the way home from Underwood Family farm on Thursday afternoon, a rock the size of a golf ball hit my windshield and cracked it bad enough to make me nervous to drive my car around until I got it fixed.

What a fun and busy week you guys had! That walnut tree is so cool! You will have to tell me where it was so we can go and check it out. Oh, and email me about your prob with posting the pic's here on your blog. I had the same thing and just had to switch things around to get them in order.
That's great. After going up to Carpinteria last week, I thought I just need to do some of the things along the 126 with the kids. Some day during the week or on a Sat with daddy. I want to do the honey tasting room too and I love all the fruit stands.
