Spring Break April 2010

For Maddy's spring break we headed to California to spend the week with Robyn and Carleton. It was an extremely cold and wet spring in Utah and it felt so nice to feel the sun. Rob and Carleton always have fun plans for us and we got to see and do some fun things.

Here we are in Irvine Park.
Family pictures with the little ones always
turn out awesome.

The kids love to ride horses!

It appears all aboard are super excited to ride the bike boat.
Settle down kids.

Another perk of CA is climbing...on the beach.

Gracy has skills.

This is Maddy climbing to the top.
She has always been fearless and loves to show off.

Here we are at an outdoor mall.

How did Rob and I get so lucky?
The guys told us they even managed a high five...
...while catching a wave on their totally cool boogies.

Josh and Carleton did their first triathlon!
It was a mountain triathlon, so they swam in a lake and
than mountain biked and ran on forest trails.
Here is Carleton.

We had a great time! One night a friend of Rob and Carleton's watched all the kids so we could have some grown up time. On our drive home I asked the kids what their favorite part of the trip was. Without a moments hesitation Maddy said, "When Carol babysat us!!" She did an awesome job, they had a garden theme and were doing activities all night and were tucked in bed when we got home. Good times.
