Spring Break

We had a super fun Spring Break week. Here is a day by day account:

Monday we stayed at home. Dad did some prep for work and the kids did crafts. This picture is of Little L with some roses and a vase she made out of rose shaped pine cones, pipe cleaners and paper. It was all her idea, creative girl!!

Tuesday Dad and Mr. M went on a hike with the boy scouts near Tokatee falls. They got to see and hear underground waterfalls. Incredible!! It was a five mile hike, satisfying a Webelos requirement. They had a great time together.
That night we had the Davises and their five
kids over for dinner (they are friends of ours from Wymount days.)


Wednesday we went to a park with the Michaels and our home teacher, Bro. Burnham, and his girls. It was a beautiful day and we played with the kids for hours in the sun.

Thursday it rained and so we just hung out at home and goofed around.


Friday our friends the Humphreys (also from our Wymount days) and their five kids came to stay with us for two days. We had a great time getting caught up with them and our kids hit it off with all of theirs.

Saturday we went to some Falls for a hike. This picture is our kids and the Humphrey kids sitting by age. Mine are every other one...funny how it worked out. Later that day we took the canoe out on the river. The weather was so nice and the kids had a ton of fun paddling up the river.

Sunday we just relaxed and I took a looooong nap.
