Spring Break 2010 - Sun in Arizona!

How good it felt to find some sun! We headed to Arizona for spring break this year and really enjoyed ourselves! The sad thing about the trip, though, was that Aaron wasn't able to come with us! That was a long week without him - we missed him so much! I was able to keep the kids busy. The first weekend we were there was general conference. We met on Saturday up at Kelly and Penny's place and they fed us lots of good food! We then headed out that afternoon for some family pictures! I'll post those when I get them! Then we listened to the Saturday sessions and the guys headed off to the priesthood session at 5:00. We had an Easter egg hunt for the smaller kids - although Katie and Brian loved it too!

Some highlights of the rest of the week were: spending time with our family - Mom and Dad, Kelly and Penny, Megan, Kenzie, Addie, Kris and Megan, Landon, going to the Pheonix Zoo, swimming at the pool, my mom and I going to hear one of our favorite authors (Jacqueline Winspear) speak, going shopping, eating lots of food, visiting with good friends Kerri and Karin, taking hikes, and in general just enjoying the warm air! One of the funnest things we did was a trip down to Tucson, AZ for the day. We were able to visit Karthner Caverns. REALLY cool! I could have stayed in there all day! We would highly recommend it to anyone! It was hard to come home and leave our family and the warmth, but we missed Aaron so it was good to see him! Can't wait until the next visit!

It sounds like your Arizona trip was alot of fun. Makes me a little homesick for Arizona--hopefully someday we will be able to visit there again. Holly was going to visit Karchner Caverns for a 3rd grade field trip but we moved before she got the chance. I'm glad that you got to see them.
