Easter

This year for Easter I took the kids and headed to Laguna Beach for the long weekend. Jake had a business trip in St. Louis so I wasn't about to spend Easter alone in Provo. We had such a great time! All of my siblings but one were able to be there so it was fun catching up and the cousins had a great time playing all weekend. We had a couple of great beach days, bbq'd, and just hung out. Saturday all the kids went to an Easter Egg hunt at a park near Brett & Christy's. That day was also Crew's 4th Birthday so that evening we had cupcakes and opened presents with everyone. Sunday morning the kids looked high and low for their Easter baskets but couldn't find a one until they stumbled across a note from the Easter bunny telling them to head to the beach to find their loot. Sure enough, they all came back with a basket full of goodies! That afternoon we headed back to spend the night in St. George only I wouldn't make it that far. A few miles outside of Primm I blew a tire! Just me and the kids on the fast lane side of I-15. I won't lie, it sucked! I tried to change the tire myself but didn't get far because I didn't have tools to get the lugnuts off. I called my 24 hr towing and they said they could have someone there in 90 min. Seriously?! I wasn't about to wait in the middle of the desert for an hour and a half with 3 small kids. My next call was to my mom. I explained my predicament and she handed the phone off to my brother who told me to call highway patrol. Who knew?! I hung up and called 311 and they were there in 20 min with a mechanic. He threw on my spare and we were back on our way. We ended up in Vegas at my brothers for the night so I could get a new tire first thing in the morning and the rest of the trip went without a hitch! It was a great weekend and I'm so glad we went!



We watched a sick seal get rescued at Emerald Bay. Pretty cool!
