Spring Break

For spring break this year, we headed to St. George to spend one last fun-filled week with the whole Paulson family before Grandma and Grandpa are shipped off to Winnipeg for the next three years. The weather wasn't what we would have hoped (cool and cloudy, with a little rain), but we had a great time anyway. The kids always amaze me at the great time they have together. We didn't have any big activities planned, but they had a great time hanging around the house, playing on the playground, swimming, making videos to post on You-Tube, etc, etc. The adults (well, I guess I can only speak for myself) loved being able to sleep in, and having built in playmates for their kids. It was a fantastic week, and it makes me sad every time I think about the next few years without Bret's parents. We'll just have to get by on good memories, and an occasional visit to Canada.

The kiddie pool was warmer than the hot tub.

The kids all love the slide (other than the road rash they get from it).

Snow Canyon

I love the contrast of the beautiful red sand against the blue sky!

We promised the kids they could go night swimming if they cooperated during family pictures. The kids were all great!

Nicole helping Lance and Sydney find their eggs. Natalie bought these great "chalkboard" eggs. We wrote the kids names on the eggs, and they were only allowed to find eggs with their names on them. It really helped to make it fun and fair for everyone!
