For Spring Break we usually stick around town, but this year we went to Mesa, AZ. One of the highlights for the kids was going in the airplane, since it had been 4 years since we flew with any of them. Bryan met us there, so I was on my own. The three older kids sat on one side and did great. Dallin was a lap child, on my ever decreasing lap. He did as well as expected, but I was glad when the four hour flight was over! The way back wasn't as exciting, and since it left early in the morning Colby and Ashley slept half the time.
Dallin got attached to three toy cars form the Cars movie throughout the trip and would hardly let go of them.
The day after we arrived we borrowed some camping stuff from cousins and made a two day trip up to the Grand Canyon. It was freezing! And it was beautiful.
In contrast, a few days later with did a desert hike closer to Grandma's house. We started late and didn't bring enough water. Too hot!
Any activity was a favorite with the kids if it involved cousins, like the Easter Egg hunt in Grandma's backyard. And the putting green was a big hit with the boys, little and big.
Trying out the bikes.
We visited a nearby ghost town, took a train ride and watched a mock gunfight. The kids liked seeing the tall cacti.
The Phoenix Zoo was a hit, especially since it was with cousins.
Of course we took too many pictures to post, but had a great time. Thanks for hosting Grandma!
