Sunday was Easter, and Gregory had a blast! He had his first Easter Egg hunt with his cousins, at his Grandma's house.

He really enjoyed himself as he hunted for eggs. Angel put eggs all over the yard (Gregory's Grandma had probably 200 plastic eggs), and he had a hard time at first figuring out which eggs to pick up. Then it took him 3 or 4 tries before he knew to put the eggs in his basket.

Gregory's growing up so fast! It's hard to believe that a little over a year ago he was so small I was afraid I'd break him.

It's events like these that really make it worth being a parent. I shouldn't get too gooshy though, I don't want everyone to squish when they read.

This next picture was taken for the New York Institute of Photography, for my Unit 2 assignment, Converging Lines. Lines have to converge towards a subject, and who do you think the subject was? Of course.

How can you not love our boy?

On Saturday, I hiked into the Spenceville Wildlife Area, which is about 25 miles outside Marysville, CA.  The destination: Beale Falls.  It was a nice hike, rolling hills and some rocky areas.  There were a few other hikers out there, but it wasn't too bad.  The best part about it, of course, is its price... free.

About half of the trail is really an old road that led to the towns of Spenceville and Waldo, neither of which exist any longer.  There was an old copper mine that was closed in the 1900s, and when they left the place, they just left the environment a rotten mess.  Recently there was a cleanup done, and some replanting, so that entire area is closed off

Once at the end of the gravel road, you walk through a metal gate that takes you to a path through beautiful green, rolling hills.  I don't have those pictures yet, but I will in a day or so

As the trail winds around, it goes by Dry Creek.
