Spring Break 2010 Slideshow

We took the week of Spring Break and traveled down to Southern California. We had earned a free day in Disneyland for doing a day of service, so we happily used it. And fortunately my Aunt and Uncle allowed us to stay with them only a few miles from Disneyland. It was very generous of them. Then we went to Legoland the next day. We'd advise going a week other than a Spring Break week. The kids had fun but the lines were far too long (an hour wait for even the tiniest ride). The Lego Mini-Land was by far the most impressive thing of the day. And each of our kids had saved up money to buy a set of legos at the end of the day...even our daughter. We traveled to stay with my cousin and her family and had a great time visiting with them. The next day we spent at the beach with my cousins and then traveled down to the San Diego area the day after that. We ended our trip with a visit to the USS Midway aircraft carrier, the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center in Old Town, the Windan Sea Beach, and the San Diego Temple. It was a wonderful trip. Here's a slideshow of it.

Easter 2010

On the Saturday before Easter, we always have a picnic and egg hunt with family usually out on West Mountain. This year, however, the rain/sleet of the morning prevented any prolonged outdoor picnic. We kept all but the egg hunt indoors at Nana and Papa's house. We still had a good time.
Dying the Easter Eggs.
A perfect indoor activity.
Ahhh. Which Color to choose? Our daughter LOVED eating the boiled eggs later through the day.
Some Rice Krispie chocolate dipped easter eggs.
The egg hunters with Nana (the race starter).

Then on Easter Sunday, the kids woke up and found their baskets and found that it had snowed 7 inches. It looked more like Christmas than Easter. But we still had a great day enjoying LDS General Conference together indoors. (Unfortunately, our youngest ate WAY too much candy that day and got sick that night from it...lesson learned).
