The Carlson Family: Spring Break 2013

We stayed close to home for Spring Break but got to do lots of fun, simple things this past week. I enjoyed not having a schedule and I look forward to summer! The weather was perfect, a little rainy but beautiful most days! The kids got to sleep over at Grammy's, spend some time at Grandma and Grandpa's, had lots of friends over to play including Carter getting a sleepover, and we had a read-a-thon one morning (above picture)!

This girl just makes me laugh! She gathered a bunch of worms and played with them for a good two hours, those pour little worms didn't stand a chance! She would lay them out carefully and then talk to them like they were her friends, then she would gather them up, throw them, then gather them up again and talk to them! Silly girl!

We had the opportunity to go up and spend the afternoon and evening up in Logan Canyon with our dear friends Barbara and John. They have some friends that have a beautiful cabin up there, and they let us spend some time up there!

It was a little muddy, but the kids didn't mind!

The sun was right in our eyes, making not such great pictures! This is a pond close to the cabin that we checked out. It had lots of fish and the boys wanted so badly to catch some!

We attempted to get some pictures! As you can see, the kids were having none of it! Carter found golf balls and had them either in his eyes, or under his chin! The Abbott family got to see that our children are not always angels, like they thought ha ha ha!

Barbara, myself, and little stinker Hailey!

We had lunch up there, played a game, watched a movie, had a light dinner, and played some tunes! What a fun night with friends!

On Sunday, Bryan's brother Russ and his family came for a quick visit. We took family pictures at the park which I will post once they are edited! Then we came back to Grammy's and had food, played in the hot tub and hung out! Last time we saw little Violet was when she was just a wee little baby, so it was fun to see how big she's gotten! She had fun pinching Hailey's nose, poking her eyes out...
