March 27- April 2, 2018

The best place to be for Easter.
We started the visit with two baseball games.

My first photos of him were T-ball.
They grow up so fast.


We look forward to watching these two
every year.  


Meet Freida, Bill's new buddy.  I know most of
you have heard me talk about her. 

A visit to California must include wineries.
Bob acted as the official tour guide and took a to
a couple.

Our first stop was Dobra Zemlija.
We really enjoined the wines here.
 


















WildeRotter Winery was beautiful.  They 
had wonderful wines and fantastic cheeses.

The beginning of four days of homemade food and fun.
Thursday was a steak and lamb family event.
Friday was the best Mexican food ever.
Saturday was the piggy in the box with a mix of Filipino cuisine and other dishes
Sunday is breakfast with meats that I only see once a year.

We always try to bring a special adult beverage for our host.
This years beverage was a huge success and will probably be next years gift as well.




















It takes a lot of steps to get from this

To This
Chicharron is amazing when paired with 
a vinegar-garlic dip.  

My bourbon bread  pudding

Yummy

 Jen's olive oil cakes and cookies

The calm before the storm

Cook little piggy!



Saturday begins with an Irish Car Bomb



On Saturday we need more burners

Just a little food




















The crowd gathers for the main event

Lots of guests 





Lovely Ladies

And we can't forget Sunday food

Now time for the Hide & Hunt



Plotting the best spot for the $$$ Egg

And the hunt begins




Let the beating begin



And with that another fantastic Family Celebration is in the books.

Our next stops include:
