Spring Trip

We had been looking forward to our week in Utah for months! Get ready for a lot of pictures!



We left Saturday afternoon and made it to my parents house around 10:30. The boys traveled great and we put them straight to bed. Then we woke up at 5 am and were on the road to St. George by 5:54. The boys slept most of the way so we didn't have to make any stops and we arrived at Bill's parents house in time for church on Easter Sunday. (We hadn't been there 10 minutes when Sam got attacked by a rose bush and had a huge scrape on his cheek).


Bill's sisters, Carrie and Melinda, and their families were there as well and we had a blast with everyone. Eight adults and ten children under the same roof! One evening we all went on a walk.


Swimming with Aunt Melinda

Sam loved jumping in the water over and over and over and over...

One morning we all went to Snow Canyon. We stopped at some sand dunes and let all the kids roll around.

Big jumps!

Peek-a-boo!

The boys were exhausted (and SO dirty)!

Three big boys!

We packed back up and headed north Wednesday afternoon and spent the next few days with my parents. We went to the aquarium...Blockquote


And Hogle Zoo...

We rode Trax downtown to see the flowers at Temple Square and the new City Creek Center

I'm framing this one!
Grandpa Ellison had to go out of town on Friday, but we played with him and Grandma as much as we could until we headed home Saturday morning. We had such a great time!

Easter

The Easter Bunny comes to our house the Saturday morning before Easter Sunday. He left lots of candy filled eggs that Sam & Daniel had to "hunt" for and a couple of fun toys.
I'm not sure Daniel really had any idea what was going on, but he proved to be a great egg collector and even better candy eater! I love this time of year...come on warm weather!!
