Spring Break (yay!)

The last week of March was Spring Break for us. We headed down to Utah to see Rachel (who is currently going to Brigham Young University) and Amanda's parents. We also were able to see Aaron's parents as well. We had an open house for Rachel and Aaron's parents, who are both going on a mission.  In one of the earlier posts, I said that Rachel was going to Vancouver, Canada. Aaron's parents are going to Vladivostok, Russia. Several family members were there, we had fun!

Amanda made a flyer to hand out

Then later that day we went down to a chocolate shop called Taste with Aaron's parents.

Some of us got hot chocolate and some of us got what is called an "iced chocolate". It is a mix between a chocolate frosty and smoothie. The chocolate was a little too dark for some of the kids, but we had fun!






Before the open house, Rachel went for her first session at the temple. It was lots of fun for her and a great experience!

While we were there, we re-created the Tree of Life photo we took so many years ago.

That time everyone was smiling and looking at the camera! :)

We then headed on down to Amanda's parents house. Aaron and the boys stayed with his parents and  then left the next day. Amanda and Emma stayed for the rest of spring break. Emma got to play with Clara for the week, and we watched General Conference there.








We had a great spring break, but we are glad to be back and into school!
