MONDAY: Sunny, 69 degrees and we went to the zoo with a neighbor. We had the best time! Treyson was so excited about riding the train & the carosel. I, of course, forgot the camera - so "thanks, Michelle" for the use of yours. :) We bought an annual pass so we can go more often. We really did have a great day!



WEDNESDAY: It snowed ALOT and we were packing for our annual camping/motorcycling trip with the Larsens & Richins (missed the Richins until Sat.). In between snow storms, we'd run out food & supplies to the motorhome. We put the motorcycles on the trailer and parked it in the garage overnight. With a forcast of more snow, we decided to go Thursday morning instead of Wednesday night. Before we packed up the truck & trailer, we had to shovel snow out of them.
Alyssa wrecked on her bike & bent the handle bars & messed up the throttle cable, so we're stopping by Rocky Mountain this week for new bike parts. Luckily, she was fine. TJay had a great time riding "dad" rides with his friends, jumping again, and most of all going on rides with his kids. His wife is too wimpy and goes too slow. :) We went on a family ride and I couldn't keep up. :) Kylie was sick on Saturday and spent most of the day sleeping and finishing up some homework. The moms played a lot of games and spent time reading & relaxing. That's what is great about our camping trips with our friends, everyone does things they enjoy. The plan for next year: celebrat spring break in June when it's much warmer! :) But, not give it up, it's too much fun!
I almost forgot the fires! TJay loves building fires. He loves using lighter fluid to make them bigger. We discovered a new joy this trip. If you put tumble weeds in the fire - it shoots out HUGE flames! (Even bigger if you douse it with lighter fluid). The kids would run & gather tumble weeds (there are a ton out there!) and make huge flames after dinner.
WOW! What a week! We returned home around 10 last night and made it to 9am church this morning, although Lyssa & I were a bit late. :) No wonder I needed a nap today! Wouldn't change a thing - ok, I would've changed the weather. But, we had fun & now back to the real world: school & work. :)

So glad I'm not in the snow! Looks like you guys made the best of it! How fun!
Your kids will always have such fun memories of family times. Look at all you do together!
Oh that sounds and looks so fun! Now I want to go to the Zoo! Were ther very many animals? Last year there weren't very many and it was a little disappointing. Looks fun this year though!
