Spring Break

We were able to spend time with family during Spring Break and it was wonderful.

We made a quick trip Spokane, WA and were able to visit Derek and Tansy and their family.  Everyone loved swimming at the hotel pool.

And then a little more swimming (Emily, Aubrey, Megan, Tyler and Samuel)



Love all of these cousins (Tyler, Alex, Aubrey, Carolyn, Megan, Samuel, and Emily)



Back at Grandma and Grandpa's house there was an Easter egg hunt.  Darrell wearing Emily's bunny ears while helping to hide the eggs.

We were able to celebrate Kyle's 12th birthday.



The kids put on a magic show for us.  Here is Tyler with the program:

 

And the magic was that people kept disappearing and reappearing behind the blanket.





A cousin sleepover (Megan, Olivia, Emily, Aubrey, Laura, Kyle, Tyler, and Daniel).  The kids are listening to Grandma read them a fairy tale or two.



We were able to go to a ranch and see some Pomeranian dogs and a little pony.  But first we had to get up to the house which requires 4-wheel drive, depending on the road conditions.  The kids loved having a short ride in the back of the pick up.

Megan with another one of the puppies.  The owners breed the dogs and sell the puppies for well over $1000 each!



This draft pony wasn't so tiny.  He was only 2 weeks old and his momma had died, so the owners are taking care of it in their backyard until they return it to the rest of the herd.

Aubrey, Tyler and Megan



The little pony licked EVERYTHING!  It was so fun to watch.



Sage and Darrell



We also stopped at Greg and Brooke's house to see their miniature goats.  Laura and Tyler



The kids always love swimming at the Y.

We had such a great time being with family and did so much in a few days' time.  I'm so grateful for family times.
