Spring Break!!!




I know that I'm a bit late (like a month) to show our spring break pictures, but oh well. I just got them uploaded on my computer! We started out the trip with our first stop at Lake Powell! How beautiful, all that blue water! And the weather was warm, but a little windy! Then it was back in the van and on to Flagstaff, AZ where we stayed!





Our first day we went to Sedona, which was so beautiful! And if you want a psychic reading...this is the place to go! The girls were happiest when they got to hike and climb on rocks(so easily entertained)! Here they are waiting to hike up to "bell tower" rock. Nate and I hiked a little of the way and Paul and the girls went the rest of the way! Addi takes after her grandpa Kay, she's like a mtn. goat when she's "hiking" just like him.


The next day was supposed to be yucky weather, so I decided we should go to the Grand Canyon. BAD IDEA! We never did see the Grand Canyon, except in the IMAX movie we watched before we entered the park! But we saw LOTS of snow! Here's our documentation that we WERE there. Emma refused to get out of the van, so she and I have no proof that we were there! But we were!!! We tried to wait out the snow, and Addi kept saying that she wanted to "climb on the Grand Canyon", but it NEVER stopped! So our kids will now have great memories of the Grand Canyon!



The next day we made our way home, and it was a much better day, we stopped at Lake Powell again and had our Easter Egg Hunt. It was a beautiful day for this, 73' outside ! And the water was not too cold...we couldn't keep the girls out of it! I asked them to please not get their clothes wet, though!

Emma had a small problem with this request! She ended up sitting down, a lot! But they had a blast and now can't wait to go back to Lake Powell! Expect a blog update on that soon!!!

sounds like a fun little trip even if you couldn't see the Grand Canyon.
