Spring Break

We stuck around Kingman for the first few days of Spring Break since Phil had some work meetings he didn't want to miss. We tried out the new frozen yogurt shop and loved it, went swimming at the indoor pool at the wellness center, played with friends and enjoyed having no schedule.

Then on Wednesday night we got out of town!! We stopped at Phil's brother Evan's house in Litchfield Park and had so much fun visiting with them. We loved being there and had to leave way too soon.

Our next stop was the park to visit all our old friends. We had fun catching up and letting the kids play. I am so sad to not have any pictures--I can't believe how much everyone has changed in nine months!!

While Phil golfed with his former boss/friend that afternoon, the kids and I shopped and shopped. I was pretty much in heaven--family, friends, shopping, great radio stations (I can't tell you how much I miss them!), warm weather--it was a fabulous day.

Then we headed to Thatcher to visit the rest of our family. I only got the camera out once while we were there for our fun barbecue with the Allreds.

We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows:

Played with cousins:

Let Elizabeth entertain us:

Segregated into the guys:

and the girls:

played with fireworks:

And lit the ole' Christmas tree on fire:

While we were there we also had fun visiting and staying with my parents, seeing my brother Cory, getting to go to the Temple (loving the 5 minute commute!), going out for a girls breakfast with Anna and my sisters-in-law and nieces, visiting our friends Tom and Suzanna, and so much more. It was a fabulous trip...except for the whole driving thing. By the time we got home late Sunday night, none of us ever wanted to see the car again! We were glad to bring Grandma Flake home with us though!!
