Spring Break 2025

 Spring Break 2025. We stayed home…😏 kind of. We went to Lagoon on Saturday. It was cold and rainy and not too crowded! Then we went and used our Swig fundraiser cards and got drinks and cookies. On Monday we had some friends over and watched Dog Man on the projector in the living room because it was too cold to watch outside! Tuesday we went to the dentist! No cavities! Bensen laid on the floor with the dentists dog the whole time! Every dentist office needs a dog. That night Mike took the older kids to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. I can’t remember what we did on Wednesday. 🤔I am sure it was super fun though. Thursday we went to Baby Animals Days. This was something Jaycee was begging to do. It wasn’t all she remembered it being. We probably won’t every do that again.🤞🏻Old Grist Mill for lunch made it worth the trip. Friday we went and saw the Minecraft Movie. It was pretty good, the kids all loved it. Then we came home and had a fire and roasted hotdogs. Saturday and Sunday were full of General Conference, hiking, games and cousins. Overall we had a pretty good break!

What a great week! Now back to school!

Spring Break Day 4

 We started the day off with some General Conference. Then we headed over to the Dam visitors center so the kids could get their Jr Ranger badges. Today we hiked Wire Pass/Buckskin Gulch. We put in for the Wave lottery, but none of us got it. This was a great hike, the kids loved it! We went in about 3 miles. Most of the kids wanted to keep going, but we decided to head back. It is a good thing we did, the little kids were dragging the last mile back to the car. After we hiked we headed home. 

Another awesome Spring Break in the books!

Spring Break Day 3, Sedona

The drive to Sedona was beautiful. We started our Vortex tour with the Chapel of the Cross, then Airport Mesa, Bell Rock, and Cathedral Rock.

It was pretty windy and cold all day, so most of us weren't feeling the vortex's. Bensen did get a little teary eyed at the Chapel of the Cross. Viv complained about her arm hurting, and Grandpa Max's hearing aids were buzzing at Airport Mesa. My lungs were burning at Cathedral Rock...not because of the vortex, but the straight up hike to get there!

On our way back to the house we stopped in Flagstaff at Big Foot Barbeque. It was pretty good.
