SPRING BREAK

 I got to take Hunter and Austin to Carly's house for a few days during their spring break. Evan loved having his boy cousins visit. The girls actually enjoyed them too, since they were pretty sweet to them.
 It was a little weird, riding in our old van, under the Fife's new ownership!
This is the kind of picture they like to take! 
 We went on a little outing to the Train Park in Scottsdale. 
 
 On the way back, we stopped to check out the progress on the Gilbert Temple.

 
 Although the weather was warm, the water in Carly's pool was very cold. These hardy children jumped in anyway!



 Playing the Wii
 There's a neat preserve with a trail through it near Carly and Rich's house, so we rode bikes over to it. Carly  effortlessly pulled the two girls in a trailer behind her.
 I had no idea there was a little lake in this wilderness area.

 We were glad we brought the boys' bikes with them.
 We went to a community pool in Chandler where the kids had a great time swimming. The boys liked going off the diving boards the best. The weather was in the 80's and they had these pools heated a bit.

 Rich took the afternoon off so he could go to the pool with us.
We'll miss you guys!

 Mt. Shasta, from the farm. Andy said this picture wasn't photo-shopped, but the mountain sure looks close!
 Gail Hopson delivering milk. This was his typical look during the years I was growing up.

The back of the hill, leading down to the creek. This was part of my cross-country track when I was in high school. You never knew what you might run into, like dead cows!
