Spring Break

For Spring Break this year, I decided to brave the long drive to Utah with all three kids with me to spend the week with family. It was a great trip, here is some highlights of our vacation. We got there the night before Easter. Chase was smart enough to leave carrots out for the Easter bunny....And he was greatly rewarded....Look at all that stuff!!!
Easter morning was a chocolate madness!
Sadi was very excited, and even more so when she found some chocolate she could open herself.
Kelsey was very happy the bunny left her a new Twilight book, yes the only one she didn't already own.
And then it was time to hunt for eggs...here is Sadi discovering the chocolate she can open herself.
Chase loading up his firetruck Easter basket.
Kelsey finding the harder hidden eggs.
We spent Easter at Aunt Susan's house where she made an amazing dinner and all the family came over for another egg hunt. It was a fantastic day! Sadi is unfamiliar with stairs, and here she is on Susan's stairs crying because she only knows how to go up and couldn't get down.
Chase was glued to Jake as long as Jake could stand him. He wanted to be everywhere and do everything that Jake was doing. Sorry Jake that's what you get for being too cool!

We took the kids to the park the one day (and only day) that was warm and discovered that Sadi LOVES the swing. She just kept giggling, it was so cute.

This is sad this is the only picture I have of Tori and Kelsey together. They were with each other every second they could. Kelsey misses being with her already and can't wait to go back to visit.
I also took the kids to the aquarium in Sandy which was really fun, they all loved it. It is so hard to get good pictures there. Here is Chase checking out some of the fish.
Guess who he found? Nemo!!
They had a big "pet tank" where you could touch the stingrays and other fish. I don't think Kelsey ever got brave enough to touch one, you know the whole Steve Irwin thing really made her second guess how "gentle" they really are.
I loved how colorful and exotic they had all the walls in there, here they are in the jungle area.
I don't know what these fish were called, but they were Sadi's favorite. She was so mesmerised by them. I think she thought she was petting them.
Here is Chase and Kelsey near the sunken ship, pretty cool wall decor right?
It was a great vacation!! Thank you Bogies and Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay with you and..............
Check out all your "stuff". Sadi really misses getting into other people's stuff!!

Oh, How we miss you already, all of you. Our house seems so quiet and boring once again. We truly loved having you. I sure hope you brave it again sometime Karen, so we get a chance to see the kids more. That is of course if you trust that Matt won't shave anything else while your away, ha ha.

Looks like you had a good time. I didnt see you going the other way on I-80 because we took I-15. Oh well. I hope you guys can make it out again so we can get together for lunch or something. I'm curious...What did Matt shave while you were gone and why arent there pictures? Hope you are well.
