Spring Break

We had a fun Spring Break.  On Monday March 12th we got to spend most of the day at the Stephenson's enjoying their company and Aunt Anna's cooking.  Tuesday the 13th, Carter finally got to have his friend Calder from school over to play.  They had a great time.  Wednesday the 14th Camille got tubes in her ears.  She was not pleased and screamed for a good 45 minutes after the surgery.  However, it's cut down on ear infections and increased sleep around here so we're all happier now.  On the 15th bright and early we headed down to St. David.  The kids stayed with Grandma Sue for Grandma Camp while Dad, Alex, me, Alan, Duane, Jeff, Kelsey & Karina headed off for a horse-packing trip in the Galiuro mountains.  We all survived (including Grandma Sue). 

Kurtis, Grandma Sue & Brad.  Balsa wood boat creations were one of the activities at Grandma Camp.  I hear entire rolls of tape and bottles of glue went into these beauties.

When we returned from our horse trip the kids were eager to try out their boats on the pond. 

Brad & Kurtis and their fleet.

Aunt Kelsey caught this sweet moment with Alex & Camille.

Camille loves Dad.

Alex and goats (after this walk he actually will only speak of them in the non-ownership form).  Alex's mom asked to borrow the goats to eat down her weeds.  I guess it was less than a pleasant stroll over there.

Uncle Jeff & Aunt Kelsey stopped by for a visit.  Here's Carter's entry in the Uncle Jeff look-alike contest. 

Beef.  It's what's for dinner, breakfast, lunch, etc.  We traded for meat and ended up with a freezer full of cow. 

Grandma Sue took the kids to the Tucson Zoo during Grandma Camp.  Shirley and her sister and Megan came along too.  Front row: Breanne, Brad, Carter, Camille, Kurtis, Lydia, Audra.   Back:  Bryce, Eve, Preston, John, Shirley, Ben & Shirley's sister.
