A few of our favorite things...

...about spring break at Gramma and Grampa Morgan's.

  • the kids LOVED their backyard.  I'm still not sure what they did out there, but they spent the better part of several days out there completely unattended and completely happy.
  • The beehive in the backyard.  Thankfully, no one got stung!
  • Picking grapefruit at the temple with Grampa
  • Making cinnamon rolls with Gramma
  • Visiting the ancient ruins at Pueblo Grande
  • Meeting and playing with cousins
  • Getting to watch Gramma's Disney movies (on VHS!  I'm not sure they've ever seen a VHS tape...but they have now:))  This was a special treat for them because I can count on two fingers how many Disney movies we have.  Sad, I know.  Erilyn adored The Swan Princess.
  • Getting sick...not a favorite thing, but memorable.
  • Breakfast baggies--we put eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, onions, cheese etc in little ziploc baggies, wrote our names on them, and then boiled them in a big pot.  Breakfast in a bag, so fun!  Thanks Gramma!
  • Anthon having to stop every 20 minutes to go to the bathroom.  DEFINITELY not a favorite, but very   memorable.  Unless he was asleep, we literally had to stop about every half hour.  I made him stop drinking, but it wasn't just pee....this goes back to the getting sick memory...
We had a great trip.  Our kids are road warriors.  Really, they are awesome travelers.  It's the only way we can drive 18-20 hours straight with them, one direction.  It's a good thing, too, since all our family lives far, far away!

And THEN we came home to this...GLORIOUS SNOW!
