Spring Break '12

We weren't planning on doing any trips for spring break this year, so I tried to have something extra for the kids to do every day, whether it was just a picnic at the park or going to Bounce. We spent the first three days doing fun things and enjoying any glimpse of dry weather we got. Then, very last minute we decided we needed to make a trip to Twin Falls to visit the temple, so we packed up and headed to Twin for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we got in on Thursday, Jefferson and I headed to the temple while his Aunt Di and cousin Taylor watched our kids. We had a great experience at the temple and received some much needed insight, guidance, and comfort.

 
Then we just played and played! The Longs are so good at making us feel welcome and playing with our kids. We went and saw baby goats and rabbits and played tag outside. They set up an Easter egg hunt for the kids with TONS of eggs for just the three of them, stuffed full of candy.


Di, Taylor, and I went out one afternoon and did some shopping. We had to hit up Gerdy's while we were there. It's a fun and yummy pizza place. It's all you can eat, but they bring all the pizzas around to your table and there are all sorts of fun kinds. Jefferson went out shooting with some of the boys. Everyone played Wii and dyed Easter eggs and watched movies and relaxed.
 


Taylor was super sweet about making Andi feel special by doing her hair, make-up, and nails.


After the first session of conference on Saturday we headed home in time to catch most of the second session. We lounged in our sweats all weekend, munched on cinnamon rolls, and enjoyed the words that were spoken. The kids always set up their teepee in the living room like the people of King Benjamin and I made little conference bags for them with treats, activities, conference bingo, and whatnot. It keeps them entertained pretty well. We thoroughly enjoyed our conference weekend and end to our spring break.
