Spring Break 2012

HOLY COW***It has been too long between posts when Blogger has changed its completed website lay out since the last time I have blogged*** We decided to go down to Blanding for Spring Break. Mike was able to get away early on Friday and we wanted to get a jump on our trip to miss most of the traffic. We kicked off Spring Break with listening to General Conference. It was a wonderful to l isten to what the prophet and apostles had to teach us. The music and choirs were awesome and we even got to see that ending shot with David Archuleta in the MTC choir. We laid around and watched conference while the kids mostly played outside and then Gma fed us all yummy food during the breaks. Mike and I... and Christian also got to squeeze in an early round of golf at the Hideout. On Monday we hiked around a bit at Natural bridges. A storm had blown in and it was really cold and windy thus the hoodies cinched up reallll tight.

Of course, he had to get back to Gma and Gpa's so the kids could get back on the 4 wheelers.

Jessie loved climbing up and down Gpa Black's little rocking chair. Quite the Dare Devil!!

On Tuesday on our way home we stopped at Arches. It had been over 10 years since Mike and I had been and the first time for the kids. We hiked Delicate Arch first.

We did it!!

Okay kids Stand BY the sign so we can see where we hiked... BY the sign... BY the sign not in front of it!!

Jessie had enough of riding in the front carrier. On the way back from Landscape Arch she wanted to walk ... the whole way.To speed things up we would count to three and swing her. During mid swing we would run as far as we could. She loved it!

It was a beautiful day and we couldn't have asked for better weather.

We headed to Denny's in Moab for the dinner that would never come and then had a sfe trip home.
