Spring Break 2008

For Spring Break this year Kevin & I decided to take the family on a week long RV trek to the Grand Canyon. We have rented RV's in the past, but this time we decided to do it up right! We lived in a 36' A Class "bus", as Emy referred to it all week, and had plently of room to spare. Eventhough there were 3 tvs, playstation & xm we spent the majority of our time playing cards, apples to apples, looking at the scenery, telling funny stories & laughing at one another. We made such fun memories that I will cherish always.

We discovered that Jackson is amazing at crossword puzzles....who would've thought?


The crew PLUS Meme....she came out at the last minute to join us on our venture. We were so happy that she spent this time with us & got to know Emy better.









My favorite picture!


















After a few days in New Mexico & Williams, AZ we thought we would "treat" ourselves to a few days at a Scottsdale resort. Kevin used his "connections" and hooked us up with a "casita" that not only looked like a house but had a dining room table with 24 chairs. This is only one small portion of the enourmous table....we enjoyed some room service, the pool & a few virgin pina coladas.....CHEERS!!





In Pheonix we stayed at an RV resort that had a BUNCH of citrus trees!! The kids had a blast picking oranges & grapefruit. They even sold some fruit to our fellow rv-ers to make some extra cash (Mitchell's idea, of course).



Our new puppy, Lilly, went on our trip with us. She was an amazing little traveler!! It was fun to bond with her as well. What a good girl she is & we are grateful that she is SMART!!! (An answer to prayers.)



On our way back to CO, we stopped at the Petrified Forest. Unfortunately we arrived just 5 minutes before the park was to close, so we stopped and took a picture with the petrified piece of wood that was there. Not the same, but we tried!

Thanks, Kevin, for such a wonderful time with our family. You are an awesome dad!! Let's start planning the next excursion....
