according to Morgan: "Camping." (me: What else?) "Um, nothing else i think. . . .Oh, made a robot" (not a "really alive one", just out of our recycling).
On a wonderful, warm Sunday walk with our family
We had a great spring break. Morgan was out of school for a whole 10 days! We didn't do anything really big but i tried to make it special without being too crazy. We ate at the "rest-aur-ant" (McDonald's), went on walks, watched movies, and played skeeball and whack-a-mole at the mall arcade. And of course we went camping. It was really fun. We just went to the State Park near our house and had a wonderful time. It was alot of work getting things ready and camp set up but by the morning i was so happy to be there. I am so thankful to have a husband who knows how to camp and is happy to do the work it requires. It was the first trip with our new tent and the maiden voyage of our canoe. Exciting stuff.

Happy cute Talmage all bundled up for a cold night. He did great! 
Out on the lake in our very own canoe. (Come on Grandma Chele, you know you want to come out with us!) 
Tired Talmage in a floatation chariot. 
After breaking camp we went on a hike with some friends who came up for the day. We found two old rusted out cars along the trail. Morgan got a tick on the hike which was one of his most "exciting" things that happened. 
As i looked at our pictures i realize that there is nothing that makes me feel more like a real live family than camping does. (did that sentence make sense?) Maybe because camping was such a wonderful part of my growing up life. It feels fabulous to be a family on a camp-out. (You can ask my friend, Sarah, if you want to know the 25 reasons why this is true.) What a cute family!

Oh how fun! You guys are such a cute family and these pictures make me really happy! Boy, I miss you guys!
Nothing having kids in school, I almost don't pay attention to spring break. But this year, I definitely noticed spring break. Because this year, spring break meant an empty neighborhood. ALL the families on our street were gone. ALL of them! We were so glad when Monday rolled around and we had neighbors again! (Though I think my daughter preferred not having to take turns on the playground equipment!!) : )
I love seeing the baby car seat in the canoe! So creative!
Looks like you had a fun Spring Break--I love my kids' schools, and so do they, so I kind of feel like I can't compete over Spring Break!

Sounds like a party. Oh, I need to talk to Nate about his race!
Wow! The kids are getting so big! Talmage is huge! I feel bad...We haven't taken our tent out yet! Maybe when the girls get older...! I love Spring Break, even though we don' get one anymore!
HOW FUN! You guys are the BEST parents! It's a ton of work to go camping with little kids. We have not attempted with 3 yet, maybe this summer. It looks like they had a BLAST!
Will you be visiting Utah anytime soon? It would be so great to see you and get our kids together!
The first year we went out there camping, the six of us brought home 16 ticks, so you did really well. Up north by C. lake there are fewer ticks.
Looks like you had a wonderful time. We miss those times with all our kids.
