Easter/Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY VERY LONG!!!

We asked the girls what they wanted to do for the Easter and Spring break week, they repeatedly choose to go camping. So we watch the weather all week and kept telling them that it was going to be cold, snowing/raining all weekend. But they didn't care, they still wanted to go have a sleepover, roast marsh-mellows, and have a fire. So we packed up the camper and all the Easter stuff to spend a very cold weekend in the mountains. The weekend started off with the girls spending the afternoon swimming at the rec. center with their cousins. Then hurrying home to load up in the truck and off to Logan. We went up Blacksmiths Canyon and found the cutest campsite near a creek. We were able to set up camp, and cook diner just as the Storm blew in. Gotta love heaters, we were toasty inside as we listen to the rain and snow hit the camper all night.

Saturday morning we woke up to 5 inches of snow. I was expecting to sleep in but the girls were up at 7 and the first thing Kelsie asked for was to go play in the snow.
Brant and the girls went for a hike, then spent the bulk of the day playing in the creek and the snow.
Kirsten loved playing on the bed, especially when i would close the gate.

It is absolutely beautiful here, it was so relaxing at night to listen to the water run, and the hill sides were covered with deer. LOVE IT.

Kaelyn was worried about the Easter bunny finding us in the Mountains, but we reassured her that the Bunny is very smart and will know how to find her. The girls were very excited on Sunday morning to wake up and go look for their baskets. I think we were up at 7 had breakfast and by 8 they were dress and outside looking.

Kels was upset because Kaelyn had found her basket for her.

Every year we go to Logan to the property where my mother grew up and search a 10 acre lot for all of the Grand kids Easter Baskets. I love coming here and watching the excitement on all the kids faces as they search in and out and under everything. My grandfather owned a lumber company and this is where the old sawmill used to be. In it's day there was 5 big building that cut the lumber and it was so much fun to play in the saw dust and around all the big saws and machines. Now all that stands is my moms old house, the barn, and one saw house. It is sad how time changes, but the kids still love going there every year.
