Spring Break

This week was spring break. Although you would never know it from the weather. It was wet and cold. Tuesday my sister Amber, and her kids Colby and Tyson, My mom, and me and my boys decide to go on an adventure. First we went to the Living Planet Aquarium where the boys got to look at lots of different fish. Here is Kage and Colby trying to touch the stingray's.

After we went and checked into a hotel and the kids swam and we just relaxed and had a good time. The next day we went to Discovery Gateway. The kids played for a long time.

We stopped and had lunch then went back and played some more.

It was a fun filled couple of days. Saturday was another rocket shoot. Here's a picture of the rockets lined up on the launch pad.

Here is the Kage's rocket. It flew a long way!

Just to end off here is a picture of our Weeping cherry tree. I love when it blooms in the springs.

We have some birds that have made a nest in the honeysuckle. I think you can see the nest in there.

Now that the weather is great for a few days we have to go back to school.

Easter

Here is a little run down of our Easter weekend activities.
Friday night we colored Easter eggs.

On Saturday we went with Mom, Dad, Cameron, Kathryn, Amber, Gregg, and their boys Colby and Tyson down to "Little Moab."

We rode the four wheelers for a little ways. The weather was a little wet but it quit raining for most of the time we were actually out. We found a spot to roll eggs

It turned into an egg throwing event after we rolled them down the hill. Kelly enjoyed getting David with egg.

We also had an Easter egg hunt in the sage brush.

We watched a few jeeps try to climb some of the hills around.
On Sunday the boy's got their baskets.

Then that evening we went over to Mom and Dad's for dinner and another Easter egg hunt.

April Fool

Yesterday was April Fool's Day. I decided to do a fun dinner for my kids.


I let them choose which they wanted first, dinner or dessert. Of course they chose dessert. So I gave them "cupcakes" At first they thought it was playdoh on top it was really mashed potatoes. The cake part was meatloaf. Then dinner was fish sticks and peas. The fish sticks were cookies with peanut butter and cornflakes, the peas were air heads.
The food still tasted good even though it looked a little odd. I even got a few laughs at school today when I took the leftovers for lunch. (Thanks to Family Fun for the fun idea.)
