We took advantage of the kids having a few days off of school and went to California to visit Tee's folks over the Easter weekend. The kids did well enough on the drive. There was a little bit of snow coming over Donner Pass and naturally they had chain control up. Luckily we had chains (new in the box) and they went on easily enough. It added an extra hour and 1/2 to the trip but gave us a little more adventure on the way.
The kids loved the fact that they could wear shorts all day and play outside, Tee enjoyed spending time with her parents and Dave sat in front on the TV and watched the NCAA Tourney all day. It was a great trip.
Actually everyone enjoyed being outside. Tee's parents backyard is like a small biology class. They have orange, lemon and pomegranate trees, not to mention the bee hive Kirkham keeps and the turtles in the garden. The kids get a kick out of seeing Poppa try to get the turtle to eat a snail. Tee and Dave enjoyed the warm weather and went for a few bike rides. We were able to do a longer ride along the American River trail on Thursday and then a ride through Napa on Saturday. Tee's sister Noelle is living there and she took us on a great ride through the vineyards.
Easter Sunday dawned bright and beautiful and the kids were glad to see that the Easter Bunny remembered where we were. He brought too much candy as usual and "The Bee Movie" which the kids enjoyed on the drive home.
Noelle came and spent a few days with us there and enjoyed watching the kids did their cute kid things.
Speaking of sisters, Mindy took the kids to see the "Spiral Jetty". This is a unique piece of our door art that extends into the Great Salt Lake on the northern shore near Promontory. You can only see it when the lake is low.
This morning the kids helped Tee make cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then enjoyed a short hike and watching conference.
