Sunday Fun Day started with an easy going breakfast. The kids got up and ate in shifts, catching up on cartoons while they waited. We heard lots of giggles from the couch. Meanwhile, Gramma had a plan for one of her world famous Easter egg hunts. Gramma is known for her clever planning and execution […]
Phoenix Family Style
What a treat to wake up in the company of some of the best peeps ever! Several months ago I discovered that our spring break coincided with Monique’s spring break.

Rocky Mountain Highs
It was dark when we arrived but we woke up to cold and flat lands in Nebraska. Our final destination for today was Salt Lake City because I had a flight home in the morning. By our calculations, we’d make it to SLC in time for an afternoon of exploring. Tuesday’s sights included trains, snow […]
