As has become a tradition of sorts, for the 3rd year in a row we spent Spring Break in Los Angeles with Opa and Lita. Willem had been counting the days for our trip and packed his bag a week ahead of time to make sure he remembered teddy and his favorite toys (definitely takes after Mom's packing style unlike Jason's last minute packing). On our drive there we pretended to be on a train and gave Willem an envelope full of tickets. Each half hour our timer would go off and he would give us a ticket. Made the trip more fun and we heard fewer how much further once he realized that when the last ticket was gone we would be at Opa and Lita's. Ellie was great on the ride, neither watched any videos and they seemed pretty entertained with the music and books we brought. Having Oom Rik along definitely helped in making the ride fun for the kids.
When we arrived we were all needing to stretch our legs so we went to Willem's favorite park in Cerritos, Heritage Park. They kids fed the ducks and we were amazed by how many turtles were there this time.

Willem always helps Opa with his garden, so they went straight to work with Mickey in tow.
That night we caught up with our good friends the Nespers. We couldn't believe how much the kids had grown. They all played really nicely together and gave us time to catch up.
