Easter/Spring Break Weekend


For Spring Break/Easter/Conference weekend, we decided to go down to visit my family. It was a fun filled PACKED weekend.
Here is a brief summary:
Had an Easter egg hunt at the local "Pony Palace" (an indoor event center). It was a good thing it was there because it snowed during the night and I don't know if I would have wanted to venture out for an egg hunt that morning otherwise....I didn't get a lot of "pictures" of the hunt and the ongoings, because somebody was filming the whole thing in video mode...And I am too lazy to download those. So, here are 2 pics.



Needless to say it was fun and Brinlee found 4 eggs that contained papers with numbers on them so she could claim some prizes. She shared with Cambree so it all worked out for everyone.


**Side note: Brinlee won a coloring contest at our local copy shop and she was awarded with an Easter basket full of candy. She was super excited and shared her loot. Here is a picture of the colored picture and the basket after 3 kids have eaten their fill. :)


Like I said, the kids attacked that basket like they had never seen candy before. It was really cute when we got it and I didn't think to take a pic then. Oh well...you get the idea.



We colored eggs during the Priesthood session of Conference, and yes that is Aidan sucking on the wire egg holder. Whatcha gonna do with that kid???

Emily's egg broke and she was sad. My mom was annoyed because I was taking pics and she didn't think she wanted to be on the blog. Whatcha gonna do with that grandma???
We left on Monday to come home and on the way back we decided to stop in Ogden and go to the Treehouse Museum. It was a lot of fun for the kids. Here are some pictures of that.
(I just thought this section was so great because everything was made out of stacks of books or giant books!)
