Spring Break

We started our celebration of Easter early by letting the girls wear their new Easter dresses the Sunday before Easter, since Easter was General Conference.

Then that week, we got a huge dump of snow.


For spring break, we went to Wyoming to visit Les & Hollis and family for Easter weekend.
Austin played cops and robbers with the kids all morning while we waited for Les to come back home from work.

For our Easter celebration, we painted Easter eggs, the Easter bunny came, and we went to the Padlock Ranch Easter picnic and Easter egg hunt.




The next day Austin, Jill and Hanna helped Les move cows.

Hanna got to ride Cookie.

Hollis and I took them lunch. This is a true cowboy picnic.

Then on the way home from our visit, we got stuck in Rawlins, Wyoming, for 24 hours because they closed the roads because of a snow storm. We waited in the car for 4 hours thinking they might reopen. Then we went to get a hotel room. We got one of the last in town and would have slept in the car if we had waited 15 more minutes.

We enjoyed our bright yellow cinderblock room with broken bedframes and a big screen tv:)
At least we had a place to stay, we kept telling ourselves.
