Our Spring Break was pretty uneventful, until Thursday the 26th, when we were hit with this...
I had to work a few hours that afternoon, and Kirstie wanted to come to work with me. I was done with work by 4:30 P.M., and Kirstie insisted on walking home...in the snow!! I have to admit, it was a BLAST!! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. It was coming down in HUGE flakes, it was like a blizzard! We both had brain-freeze, and were soaking wet from the snow hitting our heads by the time we made it home. I'm sure glad she talked me into it, I wouldn't have wanted to miss that moment.
By Saturday, the snow was completely gone, and it actually felt like spring. I have been wanting to take my family to 5-mile canyon for a while, and Saturday was the perfect day!
Jennah didn't want to go to the canyon at first, she's not much for out-door stuff, and doesn't like getting dirty. Once she got down inside the canyon, she loosened up and had a good time.
Kirstie is a completely different story. She LOVES to climb and get dirty. Steve and I had to reign her in a few times when she tried climbing a little to high, or exploring places that didn't look too safe. (and she LOVES posing for the camera too!)
Stevie is just like Kirstie when it comes to the outdoors. Only difference is, he could have cared less about getting his picture taken. This was the only one I was able to get of him by himself that day, the little stinker!
This picture is of one of Kirstie's moments of poor judgement. She was so excited to get out on that big rock, that she didn't think about how she was going to get back. The other rocks were quite small, and didn't make for a good landing spot. So, Steve had to go "rescue" her. Just another anxiety moment for me!
Our two little climbers...they would have gone to the top if Steve and I would have allowed it!
We had to talk Jennah into this one...climbing involved. You can see the nervousness in her expression.

I had to put in this picture of some of the hieroglyphs.
All in all, it was a nice, fun, relaxing Spring Break!

Look like fun was had by all:)
I didn't know you are working, are you helping your parents out? What a fun walk in the snow. There are lots of times I think I need to just listen to my kids and life would be much more fun. We love 5 mile canyon, it's one of our favorites too there. We love to go in the winter and ice skate on the water. Lots of fun. Love all the pictures.
