Spring Break 2009


We had a busy Spring Break... started with a trip to Ocean Shores for Clam Fest!

I will tell you now that the weather was not good. Rainy, windy and just plain bad. Marc and Conner at least braved going to the beach on Saturday to get some clams for us. Some of us.. never saw the beach, oh well. It was good to get away and rest up.


Here is Grandma with the kids, cleaning clams. When we got home, we were surprised to find that the weather was not any better. In fact, we came home to snow. My poor flowers, they are completely confused.



After we got home from the beach, we rested for a day and then took off to visit Grandpa Dwight in Royal City (Eastern Washington). Going on I-90 over the pass was interesting... lots of avalanche control to try and avoid, snow, ice, etc. We made it over fine and back again. While in Royal City, the kids were disappointed that Grandpa's hottub was broken. (I didn't have the heart to tell them that after 15 years, it is too broken to fix...) We took a trip to visit KC at the hardware store and of course, I took a photo of the gang with Rosebud!


After we got home, we packed up again and got ready to head to the river. We had already planned a fun weekend with our friends the Miracles and the Ladners. The kids were all excited to see each other!


The boys rode their bikes quite a bit and spent time doing what boys do best. The girls took a ride in the boat with Marc. They played quietly and kept to themselves.


Here we are... all the BIG people! The weather was SOOOO nice. I was disappointed to come home on Sunday. Can't wait for summer...
