This year Easter and Spring break were at the same time for our boys, so I loaded up with the boys and the dogs and went to Panguitch for a little vacation, adrian was able to fly out a few days later and spent Easter weekend with us. Which was exciting because we didn't think he would get to come out at all.
on the first day there Grandpa and I met up with Steve and his kids and took them to the pool, Sorry no picts I was in the water with the kidos. Then we brought Alex back to Panguitch to spend the rest of the week since he was out for Easter break too.
Friday morning Adrian flew from Colorado to Vegas and I went to St. george to pick him up from the shuttle and spend a little time together. He wasn't supposed to get in till later in the afternoon but we got lucky and his flight got in early and he was able to catch the earlier shuttle.
On Saturday morning we had our usual egg dying fun, Grandma always boils enough eggs so the kids get to color 4 or 5 each.

Later that day we went to Kodachrome basin to have our picnic and let the kids Easter egg hunt.
It was a such a fun trip, Jordan and Adrian loaded up all the kids but D and headed out early while Erin, Mom, Dad and I got the picnic things together and headed out after a bit. Justin, Jenni and kids went to spend the day with Jennies family so they didn't come with us.
The kids had a great time hiking and exploring and getting covered in red sand.
Adrian and Declan hiking.
Adrian was the only one who was smart enough to pack shorts, it got a lot warmer out there than we had anticipated.
My cute little Tav hiking along
You meet some of the strangest people out on the hiking trails! ;)
Egg hunting time

Declan wasn't interested in finding eggs and more interested in what was inside, and hiding the eggs he had in the bush behind him!
The kiddos and their loot.
After hunting eggs and a yummy picnic the kids decided to scale a little mountain over and over.
We will definitely have to go back there soon.
Later that evening Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids so that Erin, Jordan, Katie, Meg, Adrian and I could go out to dinner.
Easter morning came and so did the Easter bunny!
The kids got kites, bubbles and lots of candy!

Aren't they some good looking kids!

There is always some sort of game or something to compete at when we all get together, this time it was wrestling! It started out with Mclane and Alex showing what they learned in wrestling this year, then well you know... the big kids had to get in on it too!
Erin and I think that is Alyssa she has in a pretzel.
Alyssa and Camri. These girls are tough and very flexible!

Every year G&G have a special giant egg with money in it and since all the grand kids couldn't go to Kodachrome they added some goodies in a bag and hid them on Sunday around the back yard.
Eight out of ten grand kids.
D was down for a nap and Emma was sick.
Another fun Vacation in Panguitch thanks to all that G&G do to make it fun and special for the kids and giving the parents a break!
