Spring Break 2012

 For Spring Break this year the boys & I went with Jeff since he has been working in Eastern Idaho about twice a month. He will usually leave on a Tuesday morning & come home Thursday night, staying either in Twin Falls or Idaho Falls.

Since he'd already gone to Idaho Falls that month we got a hotel in Burley & he worked there while the boys swam & played with cousins. We got there on Tuesday & that night Jolynne brought her kids over to the hotel to swim & Addison stayed the night with us at the hotel. The next day the kids played while Jeff finished working, then we dropped them off at Tyler & Jolynne's so we could go to the Twin Falls temple. We hadn't been together since before we moved to Orofino a year ago. It's so strange that it's been a year since we spent part of Spring Break in Orofino checking out the town to see if we would accept a job offer there. 

We got back to Burley that evening around 8:30 & I think it was 1 o'clock in the morning by the time we left Tyler & Jolynne's house. We stayed & played cards with them & also Brad & Cassey had stopped by. Our plan had been to stay until at least Friday, but the boys & I all had colds by Thursday & we weren't feeling so great. That didn't stop them from wanting to swim so Jeff finished up a few things while they played in the pool. 

We decided to head home that evening after having dinner at Kelly's house & as we were checking out of the hotel Jolynne called to see if the boys would want a tractor ride since Tyler was out working.

The boys loved riding in the big green tractor & have been talking about it for more than a week.

 Owen had fallen asleep on the way to the field, so he stayed in the car & slept & drooled...

We had a great time & it was nice to get away for a few days. Ethan really didn't want to go back to school but summer is only about 7 weeks away so he is toughing it out. They are keeping busy with football & have about 4 more games...not that I'm counting or anything.
