We had a great time in Utah during spring break. We stopped along the way at the outlets and Cove Fort. Camden and I took a quick tour at the fort while Blake slept in the car and Daddy had a driving break. Camden liked looking inside all the rooms. It reminded us of Nauvoo. We'll stop again on our next trip to Utah to take the full tour. Pioneers were so self sufficient it is amazing! It was FREEZING there. We traveled from spring to winter in a matter of hours! We surprised Grandma Larson-she thought we were in route to Santa Cruz while we waited for her in her driveway! Once we arrived in Smithfield, Camden and Dalton were inseparable. Blake was at their side the whole time too. They played spies and finished the game Star Wars on the Wii!!!
Will and I went snowboarding with Ryan and Danica (they are great skiers) on Saturday. Fun Fun! When we left, Blake was a little apprehensive about us leaving, and finally warmed up when Aunt Carrie got out her cleaning supplies and began cleaning. Blake is a great cleaner and was happy to use the feather duster. He had a great time after that. Carrie and Grandma took the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt at the grocery store. They got to go all around the departments of the store collecting eggs, winning Twinkies and cupcakes, and finally finding the Easter Bunny!!! They also got to see baby animals! 
Easter morning we awoke to a tricky Easter Bunny!
He hid the baskets up so high we had to use a broom to get them down! There were eggs all over the house and after church there were more eggs all over the front yard!! 
The funniest thing about our trip was when Will thought of a great plan to save money on a hotel for the trip home. We purchased a foam mattress at DI for $3.00 then we were going to borrow blankets and sheets to mail back to Utah and we were going to sleep in our van!!!! Will got the mattress set in the back, and we decided it would be a little too crowded for all four of us. Oh well, we'll have to brave it next time. We could go cross country this way!! (I guess if it were just the two of us).

Becky, I'm so glad you got a picture of Will and the foam. I love the ideas that he comes up with. What you need to buy for Will's new car, is a winabego! (how ever you spell it!)
Becky, I found your blog now too. I'm glad you made a blog since we live so far away now (Oh, people from here are so funny!)! I'm all about posts with lots of pictures and commentary, which is hard to do with a slide show, so either way you post is fine with me. I'm just happy to keep in touch either way :) If you haven't noticed, there's a link to our blog on Kristin's, so come visit or blog sometime!
I am so glad you have a blog! It is such a great way to keep up with long lost friends. We still have never seen Blake!! I can't believe he is going to be 3. And Camden is HUGE!
I know a great way to save money on a hotel room....you can stay with us!!
