Easter weekend before the big trip

We were off to Boise for Easter weekend which happened to be the first weekend of spring break (more on that trip to come).  It was super nice and we hit up our favorite hunt at Albertsons where the kids got golden eggs full of prizes: a scooter, frisbee, sippy cups, coloring books and loads of candy. The boys went fishing at the little pond in the afternoon and we dyed eggs Saturday night. 










Bridger wrote this note to the Easter bunny..."Happy Easter this a egg that I mad this for you. Easter bunny this is for you."






ROAD TRIP

It was 5.5 hours to Boise plus another 10 to St. George.  
We totally killed it. 
Kylee got a fever on the drive, about an hour later Preston threw up in the car which made Ky even sicker but I almost died laughing.  It was worth the car ride to get there though! At the tail end of our trip I got a fever and mom got the pukes.  She dry heaved the entire way to Ogden where we stayed at a hotel with an indoor water park.  The videos of her dry heaving are worth the sickness I think too. 

Once we got there we spent lots of time hiking, playing at an awesome park with a really fun splash park, the childrens museum, hanging outside looking for golf balls in Grandpa's bushes and having fun with cousins we don't get to see very often.  Mom and dad even took the little kids for half a day so the adults + parx, bridger, Kallie and Kyah could go on a harder hike. 
 That hike was probably my favorite!

And we are off...

Oh gramps... Always laying out in the backyard shirtless.

 The water in here was FREEZING.  
We had to carry Bridger because no joke we lost all feeling to our feet.



Red cliffs... the natural water slides were really cool





 We played games/watched movies every night at home.  
The kiddos even had sleepovers in the garage.

Park time..




 Dad was after the bouncy ball in the pond... and of course he didn't stop till he got it out!
