Spring Break Adventure

We began our journey bright and early Tuesday morning. It was non eventful drive until we came into Boise, where we ran into a spring snowstorm. We thought it was very fun since we had very little snow at home this year.We got into West Jordan around 6:00 and Chris brought the kids to our hotel room. Josh got Serenity and Terran into a pillow fight. We had a fun visit until the kids needed to get home to bed since they had school today.

We woke up to SNOW...it followed us from Boise. While the kids were at school we took a drive into Salt Lake to Temple Square where we saw Sister Carnahan from our ward who is serving her mission on the Square. Then we drove to "This is the Place Monument". Even though the heads are cut off, Richard and Josh stood in front of the statue of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith...Westward Bound which is the same statue that is in Nauvoo. We got a picture of it when we were there.
Here is a shot of the monument...it is so beautiful...there are different statues within the monument paying tribute to the Pioneers, the Donner Party, the Indians, Trappers....and more.
We had a fun time with the kids after school. We went shopping for some new clothes, then went to Wendy's before we headed to Gunnison to see "the pregnant one"
And here she is.....It's debatable who has the larger tummy...hee hee!
Stay tuned for more adventures!!
