The Stephenson Families' Great Californian Adventure

Well - last weekend was Easter again and just as last year we went to the local Easter Parade. It was the exact same deal as last year - in fact I imagine as the last 20 odd years - a parade with all the kids dressed up and the fire engine and ambulance leading the parade, followed by an easter egg hunt in the gardens of the houses for kids of all ages. Karina went with her friend Ilona and Kyle managed to join in this year, even picking up a few eggs for himself. Lovely weather and a very pleasant weekend. I even said "no way" to work and had a bit of a break, though I managed to catch the lurgy (thats the flu, to the non-UK readers!) so I felt rotten - but it was still better than being in the office!
