Spring Break-Fun with Friends

Kevin had couple days before Easter and the whole week after off of school. We tried to pack a lot of different stuff in during his time off-some fun stuff and a pretty lengthy honey-do list:)

We were able to head over to San Jose for a night to visit with our good friends there. It had been way too long since we connected face-to-face. It was treasured time and went by way too fast!

The first picture is of our kids with the Sacks' kids-Carter, Ethan, Morgan, Anna and Megan. When we moved away from San Jose their kiddos were Morgan's age and now they are 6! Time goes by too fast.

Here the kids are with the Hayes' kiddos-Ben, James, Morgan, Ethan and Marea. So fun to watch our kids run around and have fun together. We sure wish we could do more with them!

On the Monday after Easter we headed up to the Mountains to spend some time in a cabin that was a gift to Kevin and his co-worker and friend Keith from a family at school. We were expecting rain....not all the snow we saw on our way up. When we got to the cabin there was 3 feet of snow on the ground and no electricity in the cabin. After about 3 hours of wondering what we were doing in this freezing cold cabin on spring break, the electricity and heat finally started to kick in and we had a good evening. We actually only ended up staying one night since we just weren't prepared for the snow. The Terpsma's stayed though since they were a little smarter than us and their boys were having a blast. It was fun for the time we were there though and good to make memories together.

On Tuesday we headed to Calavaras Big Trees Park. We were able to find a shoveled road to walk on for a while. It was a beautiful sunny day, which meant the snow on the top of the trees was melting. Morgan was not a fan of the snow falling on her head. She spent a good chunk of time there crying....

Here she is a happy girl for a while. Can you believe I even forgot to bring a hat for her?? Thankfully Eli shared his.

We were able to find a pair of boots at the cabin small enough for Ethan to wear...even if they were pink, they kept his feet dry. He enjoyed the hike but was not a fan of the sledding.
