Spring Break-Northern Utah

For Spring Break this year we decided to take a really long vacation. We were gone almost two weeks and we had so much fun! Our first stop was Northern Utah for a few days. We left Friday after Lizzy's school and made the long drive. We thought for sure the girls would sleep a long portion of it, but what the heck were Kevin and I thinking? Our girls sleep yeah right! At about 10:30 California time and after driving in the dark with no movies or noise for the past two hours, the girls still were wide awake, so I laid the smack down. Finally within a few minutes they all were asleep. When we pulled into town at 2:30 They all woke up and we told Nellie that we were finally in Max's world. ( She kept asking if we were in Max's world yet while we were driving.) The girls were thrilled and we spent the next few days with Chanelle and Tom and their boys. It was so crazy because when these two get together it is like we don't even see them. They play so well together they are just like two peas in a pod. Nellie is usually so whiny and demanding but when she is with Max she is like a perfect angel. They are just the best of friends and I hope they always stay that way. Aren't they so cute! I think they even look alike.

Jane is still not very used to having someone her age around so it took her some getting used to Jack. But I am sure they will become good friends.

That Sunday my sister Erica and her family came over and we all had dinner together. Afterward the kids had do much fun playing games outside. They played Duck Duck goose and Steal the Bacon. It was so fun to watch them because it brought back so many memories from my childhood.



We were only there a few days but we had so much fun. We can't wait to go back this summer and get to spend a little more time there this time.
