Spring Break 2017

     We started Spring Break with General Conference and this was how the first session went. Having candy out was the key to keeping them plugged in for a lot longer than usual.

     In between sessions on Saturday we drove up Provo Canyon to pick up some free firewood and also put a deposit down on a reception facility. (WHAT?!) And as an added bonus we had a quick visit from my Aunt Gayla and Uncle Craig.

This sweet gentlemen was awesome and bore his testimony to us three different times in the best ways. Good stuff!

     These pieces of wood were far bigger than I realized. Our neighbor wasn't deterred though and was more than happy for a little more firewood to add to his pile.

This is how these boys 'play' together.

    We also did a little dog sitting for a few days and all the kids really loved having this pretty husky here for a visit. Unfortunately our dog wasn't a big fan but we made it work.

This was the only safe way for Charlie to walk the dog, in the back yard.

     McClane finally lost his other top tooth!

    And of course Greg had plenty to keep him busy with the basement bathroom. Thankfully he had the whole week off so a lot got done.

Here's a few before photos.

The shower is complete and now on to the floor!

     This was the start of the fun stuff we planned with the kids, a movie! We didn't see the movie in the photo but we did see "Boss Baby" and everyone liked it.

    And we even splurged on a little lunch at In N Out.

    Our second fun activity was a trip to a trampoline fun center. This is a great way to wear the kids out!

So much FUN!

    And to keep Greg and myself from going completely insane and to give Greg one last little 'hurrah' before work gets crazy we took a minute to relax in Tahiti! (Ok, so maybe it's a theme room at a nearby B & B but it was still fun.)

There was actual sand on the floor and an aquarium built into the 'deck'. 

    Now back to work!

The floor tile took a lot less time than the shower tile. I LOVE it!

    And our last fun activity, swimming!

    While we were swimming Greg kept working and made a ton of progress. There is a bright light at the end of this 'remodel tunnel'. Just a few more finishing touches and this bathroom will be done!

     It's sad to see our Spring Break coming to an end but I do think we made the most of the week, which is why it went so quickly. Lets hope Greg is ready for work/water season. And lets hope the kids can survive the rest of the school year, only 35 school days left!
