SpRInG bReAK!!!

What a fun spring break we had! We were all ready for some sunshine and warmth so we headed south for a couple of days. Our kids had the whole week off so we left on Sunday. All eight of us plus the dog of course! The kids did great on the long drive down. Thank goodness for DVD players. What did we do when I was a kid? Oh yeah, slept! On Monday we went to a "glitter pit." It was a glass mine out in the boonies where some cool type of rock (don't know my rocks) was found for the temple. It was so fun. The kids loved it. We did a little bit of hiking there and then went to another spot where there are some Indian writings. Quite educational! We took the kids to Kohls and let them all pick out a summer outfit for Easter. They kind of liked that I think. We spent lots of time at a fun park that is within walking distance from the house. It was a "big kid" park with lots of fun play things that the bigger kids could play on. On Tuesday we went out to Snow Canyon. (my favorite) It was sooooo beautiful. We hiked and hiked and hiked. Our little girls are part mountain goat I think. Brynlee didn't miss a beat. Looking back, I can't believe we took her some of the places we did. She had a blast and did great. The weather was perfect! We loved playing in the sand dunes also. It felt so good. We were able to spend lots of time at the pool also. It was about 83 on Tues. Perfect for suntanning! I got a pretty good tan. Only a little sun burn for the kids. Then we headed home on Wednesday. We had a good time. Thanks to Brent and Alicia for letting us stay at their house! And thanks to Dan and Jeannie for the yummy food and letting the kids spoil the kittens!
