Spring Break

We had a busy spring break! We went on a road trip to Pinecrest and stayed in a nice cabin. There were a few patches of snow on the ground under the trees, but not much. When we arrived, we went down to the lake where Uncle Mark was trolling around in his boat. He took the kids out for a spin. It was a little chilly.



Then the boys made fire.



The next morning, we got to go snowmobiling with Papa. Here is Brandon and Emma ready to go!

We got up to around 9000 feet and Ben got to try snowmobiling by himself.

He did a great job and had a lot of fun running around the meadow. Here is Matt, Emma, and Brandon on one of the machines.

And here is Shannon and Sarah in the back and Papa and Emma in the front on their machines.

We almost make it back to the truck with no breakdowns and then Mark throws a belt. Papa is always prepared and had a spare.

Near the parking lot, there was no snow... and it was really rough. The machines do not like running on the pavement... here's one in the ditch. Ben didn't do it...



Then we headed to SLO for a few days... here is some more creek fun.




Easter Sunday was beautiful. The kids got their Easter baskets and hunted for eggs.
Here are my kids and my brothers boys. (l-r. Jason, Emma, Sarah, Zachary, Ben, and Brandon)
