Easter 2008

As usual, we spent Easter in Tehachapi at Chris' Mother's place. This Parker a chance to run around with Josephine and Carli -- look for Easter Eggs, gorge themselves on chocolate, and jump on the trampoline. As for me and Chris...we'll we partook in the bounty that was the Easter meal -- ham, lasagna, scallop potatoes, ice cream, oh yeah, there was also salad. :o)

This year, Chris' Mom also got chick...four of them! First lesson on chickens...they poop. Everywhere. There's no warning. There's no stopping. It just happens. It reminded my of the chickens my sister had as kids -- Henry (who later became Henrietta when he laid an egg) and Wilber (who later became Wilma when he laid an egg). Lesson #2, it's really hard to figure out if chicks are boys or girls so pick a name that's flexible. We tried to get Parker to help name them but he seem more interested in eating chocolate and counting the change in Gram's change bowl. Silly Parker!

Since we were picking up the new car that morning, we opted out of bringing Frankie, which was too bad because I know he would have loved playing with Popcorn. Popcorn's a Labor-doodle but he looks nothing like either breed in my opinion. Rather, he seems to be some sort of Euro-hound that you'd find basking by a roaring hearth in a cold castle. Go figure.

So to sum it up...Easter 2008 for the Trillos = New Car Smell + Ham + Chocolate + Family.
