What a Spring Break!

We had a GREAT Spring Break this year because we were lucky enough to have a visit from Grandma, Aunt Julie, and cousins Ben, Daniel, Lucas, and Sadie. It was a house full of fun! We kept busy seeing all Omaha has to offer. Our agenda was:

Saturday- airport greetings and dinner at Red Robin
Sunday- church
Monday- Boingz
Tuesday- Egg Dying and The Amazing Pizza Machine
Wednesday- A Picnic at the park and then Culvers for Frozen Custard, and then some water bouncing on the trampoline and a barbeque
Thursday- Winter Quarters- Trail Center, Cemetery and Temple
Friday- Swimming and dinner at California Pizza Kitchen
Saturday- Easter Egg hunt, Conference, Easter Egg Roll, More Conference
Sunday- Family Easter egg and basket hunt, Brunch, Conference, Ham dinner
Monday- Park, play at home and pack, dinner at Wheatfields
Tuesday Morning- a sad goodbye

Spending a week with my mom and sister was wonderful. I am so blessed to have such great family. My kids adore their cousins and so they were in heaven with them here.
Here are some photo highlights:


Coloring the Eggs.The Amazing Pizza Machine
The majority of the kids time and pizza machine points were spent on this crazy claw machine as the kids were in desperate pursuit of Pokemon animals. In the end everyone got one (except Brielle who didnt care too much) so I guess it was a success.
The Picnic at the Park and subsequent trip to Culvers...
The Mormon Trail Center
Winter Quarters Temple and Cemetary

Our little pioneers

The easter egg hunt.
Our Easter Egg Roll. Brayden named himself this years winner.

What fun we had!
