SPRING BREAK!!!

Now that Spring Break has come and gone, we thought we'd tell you all about it! Our's was quite the adventure! It officially began Monday March 9, 2009. Two other couples in our ward invited us to go to West Yellowstone with them for Monday and Tuesday! We jumped right on that cause neither one of us has been there. What a blast! We got up early that morning just to wake up to a boat load of snow...So we waited a while and headed out! It took us 5 hours and tons of laughs to get us there. By the way, if you ever stop in Rexberg to eat, CRAIGO's is the place to go! We did get to stop and take pictures by the Idaho and Montanna state signs, and coincidentally found ourselves at the Continental Divide! Talk about being at 3 places at once!!! That evening we checked into a way nice time share, thanks Trent & Mandy, and walked around the local shops. That night we spent some time down at the pool and jacuzzi. Trent was hilarious and dove into a heap of snow right after being in the jacuzzi...talk about sting..!?!?! Tuesday presented a little bit more than what we bargained for. We started off with the wolf and bear exhibit. HOLY BEARS...they're MASSIVE(: It was so neat to see. The wolves were a little lazy, but I have never been so close to one before! Then we went snowshoeing...another first! We LOVED it. Never thought that something so easy as walking could give you such a great workout. We made so many fun memories with the Isaacson's and Olsen's, not to mention my first ever yellow snow experience.?!?! /: Unfortunately, our fun had to end and we checked out and started our drive back to Logan. OR so we thought! We made it safe and sound, good job Jake, unloaded, and settled down for the night!


My mom called to see if we made it back safely and said something along the lines of, "Why don't you just get back in the car and come home for the rest of the week?" I thought she was NUTS...12 hours later we were able to tell her the same thing in person. Curt was such a trooper and drove all night long! It was SO worth it though. Only my parents knew so it was a blast to surprise Curt's family and mine! We fit in a ton! We got to see Jordan play & BEAT highland at his volleyball game, Jake wrestle and won as well, Mattas 3 times, Pete's once, bowling with Curt's family, and spending lots of time with my Nana & Papa. It was wonderful. Many more memories were made, and the end of the week came all too quickly! Thanks moms & dads for the fun trip! Can't wait to be back in warm Arizona again!Curt doing sweet tricks on Nana's wheelchair!The three generations! It was so fun hearing stories of when Nana was a teacher and how her and Papa met, married, family!!!This is my great friend Tamara! She was so aewsome to let me know she'd be up here in Logan. It was great to see her. She is AMAZING!!! (These last 2 weren't from Spring bReak. Just this past week) UNDER: this is Curt and I's way good friends from our ward, Cody & Jen Gunnell! We got together last night and had a great time up Logan Canyon with a warm fire and fun friends! (Mine & Cody's eyes are a little closed, guess that's what happens when the photographer can't coordinated counting to 3 and pushing the button on 2!:)
