The promised land

After 5 months of winter in Minnesota, our recent warm trip to California was pretty much like heaven. Nothing says "Welcome Home" like the snow covered ground that greeted us in Minneapolis as our plane arrived Tuesday night. But here is a happy overview of our warm respite.

March 22: Memorial Park in Claremont for the Easter egg hunt. Holden and Lili had a plan and they made out like bandits.
The kumquats in G-Grandpa's backyard still attract little boys.

March 23 Easter Sunday: Miriam was given a baby blessing by Mark in the Claremont Ward. We appreciated all the family who came. Her beautiful smocked blessing dress was made by Miriam's Grandma Ashton.


With the Ashton representation.
All the So-cal (is that correct usage?) Browns with us.

Monday March 24: Newport Beach

Then on Tuesday we went to Disneyland with Grandma. The fun didn't stop.



March 27: Happy 81 Great-Grandpa Brown.

March 28: We loved the park in Rancho!

The non-stop fun wore Asher out.

And now it's back to our MN version of spring.
