Spring Break

It snowed twice last week--two times. Fortunately we have family in warmer places. For spring break we headed south, first to Vegas then St. George. The weather was hot. We had fun with family. It was the perfect spring break.

This is how Zack rolls. I threw away those french fries two days later, although there are probably still some under the seat.
How great is it to have a swimming pool in your backyard? Zack thinks it is awesome, especially because you don't have to dump it out and hang it up in the garage.
We were lucky to have Leanne and the kids come visit at the same time. Emily is a great hostess and treated us to all sorts of breakfast delights.
You might think that it would be crazy with eight boys under the age of 10 and two little girls. Well it is, but in a good way. The kids get along really well. My boys always leave with the same question: "when are we going to see them again?"


Fresh flowers are scarce here. Zack got up the courage to ask Emily for a few roses. Although they don't look quite as fresh he insisted they, along with some he picked at Nana's, come home with us. They are now in a vase with that pretty pink ribbon tied around it.
After a few days in Vegas we went to St. George. One of our favorite places is Snow Canyon. Nana picked this hike:


Zack got some digging in at the sand dunes.
The boys loved flying their airplanes. We had lots of successful looptee-loops--Papa even achieved a double.

We had a great time. But unfortunately it was back to reality on the way home--32 degrees and snow. I guess it makes the warm days all the more enjoyable.
