It was so fun to have Trisha and Ali and Grant come down from up north to spend their Spring Break with us! We had planned some fun things for the week. Little did we know that Spring Break would include a couple of snow storms along the way! They weren't too sure about everything when they saw the snow...SPRING??! But we took off for Salt Lake anyway, and much to our delight...Katie and Clint and the little boys were able to come also and meet up with us! So we spent a few days at Grandpa and Grandma Hamblin's house...messing things up and running in and out!! They were good enough to let us all crash there, whenever, and make us lots of food, that we didn't finish up...and also take us all out to Golden Corral for dinner our last night also!! Thank you for being our Bed and Breakfast and for putting up with all our mess!!
Monday was spent just getting there...we had to stop along the way at Smith and Edwards, and Tai Pan...and Clint had to do some tiling before they could leave...but we all met up Monday evening at Grandpa and Grandma's. Then Tuesday morning, we all took off for Hogle Zoo. The sun was shining when we left...but it was still pretty chilly! It was okay with jackets on, and we managed to have some fun and see quite a few animals along the way! The kids had fun playing together and looking at all the different animals. Grant and Corgin got to ride in their own little zoo safari jeep...We had a good time and didn't freeze to death!

Corgin was not going to take his eyes off of that Tiger for a picture!
Ali and Grant checking out the cool giraffe!
The kids all loved climbing on the animal statues all over the zoo!
We had a great time there, and then got to go have a wonderful lunch together and visit and eat to our hearts content! Then Clint and Katie took off to go to Ikea and do some shopping, but we wanted to take Ali and Grant to Temple Square, since they had never seen it. We had a great time there looking around and touring things. Ali took a ton of pictures...she was really INTO it all!!
Ali and Trisha were also able to go down to the Bountiful Temple where Grandpa and Grandma Hamblin work, and they met them for a tour.
On Wednesday, we had a fun filled shopping day to include Target and Kohl's...but had an anticipated trip to Chuck E Cheese!! Grant was so excited he could hardly stand it!! Aunt Katie got a picture of the kids with Chuck E Cheese...
Thursday brought about one more shopping spree at Kohl's and then on home for some hair appointments and dinner with Grant and Ali's other grandma...Grandma Nelda. It was so fun to have them here, and its always fun to spoil the grandkids, or maybe it's grandma that's spoiled!

We had tons of fun! Thanks for spoiling us.
What a fun spring break! I'm not sure if Utah gave you good weather, but it sounds like you got in some good shopping so the trip must have been a success! :)
I just spent the past 20 minutes getting caught up on your blog(I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't been a good blogger lately). It looks like all your happenings, trips, birthdays, etc; have been fabulous. So sorry to hear about Brent's dad, although after what Trisha told me last summer, it seems he has been gone for some time. Hope everyone is doing well, especially his mom.
Your kids all look fabulous and happy. Next time you come to Utah, let me know, I could drive up to Salt Lake and meet you! Jana is moving to No. Salt Lake in June. Congrats to Tanessa and Jake on the boy! I didn't know she was expecting.
We soooooo loved having you here for a little while, even if we didn't get to tag along on the adventures. We loved seeing the great grandkids and lovin' on them a little -- such GREAT hugs and kisses!!!!
