Sunshine and Spring Break 2019 - the Wild West Road Trip!

It has been a long, cold, and grey winter. Today, it warmed above 40 degrees, the birds were chirping, and the sun was shining! It was also the first day after daylight saving so the sun lasted longer this evening. The boys played outside from the time we got home until the sun went down. Kai said, “This kind of weather makes me happy! I’ve been dreaming about a day like this all winter.” I agree sunshine is good for the soul!



Spring Break 2019 was a wild west road trip through 8 states and thousands of miles! 

Tristate area - 3 states in less than 6 seconds!







Our first look at the Grand Canyon!


Heading down the trail.



Look closely! We're half a mile down.
