2012 EASTER CAMPING TRIP

We traveled down south for our Traditional Easter Camping Trip. The weather was Beautiful and we had a wonderful time spending time together as a family creating,hopefully long lasting memories with the kids. I love this time of the year, SPRING! I love everything about SPRING, the smells in the air, the new babies animals, the blossoms on the trees, the green grass springing forth out of the brown grass, the Tulips, the Daffodils and the excitement and renewed energy in the air.

Sadie is at such a great age! She makes the holidays wonderful and magical. I love that she loves to help make Easter creative and exciting with me for the boys who honestly really don't care. (Sadie and I sure have fun though)

This is just a few pictures of the MANY, MANY hours "WE" or "THEY" spent shooting skeet! They could have done this all day everyday if we wouldn't have kept running out of shells and skeet! I think we made 3 or 4 trips to the good old WALLY WORLD for more supplies!

This a great shot of ALL 3 boys doing their THING!

Scott, giving Kade a little coaching on his aim and his shot!

Sadie trying to do her thing! Dying Easter Eggs was on the top of her list! She spent a good couple of hours on her eggs!

Finally, after a lot of coaxing we got the boys to let their barrels cool off and come and join in on some of the festivities!

Sadie and I, enjoying the beautiful Easter weather!

Annual Easter Egg Roll @ the White Sand Dunes!

Kade showing off his winning egg for the longest distance without cracking! He was proud!

Sadie coaxing her little egg ever so carefully down the hill! She had a blast!

A picture of Glenwood from the white sand dunes! What a quaint little country town! So peaceful and quiet.

Sadie with one of her many creatures she caught while we were roughing outdoors! She thinks catching the bugs and lizards are the best! What a girl.

The boys trying to be patient with their little sister who wants to learn how to shoot a gun.

Annie Oakley MOVE OVER! They were so patient with her and proud of her for wanting to shoot a gun!

Annual Saturday afternoon easter egg hunt! They found plenty of loot to last until next Easter!

Sadie holding her pet lizard. She was so sad when we told her she had to let it go. We finally talked her into it when we told her the lizards mom was probably so sad and was looking for it.

Mitchell and Sadie playing with all their creatures!

This is what tired looks like after 3 long days of CAMPING! They are all showered and smelling clean ready for a good movie. I don't think one of them made it through the first 15 minutes of the movie.

Kade and Mitchell, they really do love each other in a brotherly kind of way. We love our Easter Camping Trip!

We are so grateful for all of our blessings. We love this Easter time when we can ponder the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ and the Atonement. We are truly blessed to have the knowledge of our Savior, Jesus Christ in our lives, that he has risen & that he lives.
