A Great Spring Break

Last week was spring break for us and it was filled with lots of family. We had a very busy and very fun week. The boys were in heaven that they were able to see both grandparents in the same week. Lamont's parents came in on Monday for a couple of days while his dad had a work conference. We were able to spend a nice evening and dinner with them on Monday. On Tuesday the boys and I got to hang out with Grandma Larsen. We went to the Molly Brown house (the titanic survivor)which was very interesting had many cool artifacts and pictures from the time. We met Lamont for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then hit Hammond's Candy Factory, which the boys always love.


On Wednesday, we headed up to Golden and went to the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave. Carter and McKay love dressing up as cowboys - boots, chaps, et al. We had a nice picnic lunch and then it was time to say good-bye to grandma. It was a short but fun visit.


My parents and sisters arrived late Thursday night after braving a Wyoming snowstorm. We had a fun Friday at the Denver Zoo and at Maggiano's for the best Italian food that evening. My family was able to attend the broadway production of Mary Poppins afterwards. We had already seen it - it is such a fun musical.


We started Saturday morning bright and early with Carter and McKay each having a soccer game. They both played well, and McKay let everyone know that he scored 9 goals (although, I think he claimed two of another player - either way he did a great job.) After an afternoon of General Conference we hit the bowling alley. McKay always plans on a bowling trip when Grandpa and Grandma Moreton come to visit.


Saturday night all the final preparations for Easter were made, including coloring easter eggs. Tanner attempted to color an egg, but once it was colored he just wanted to eat it shell and all. His egg coloring didn't last long. Carter and McKay loved every minute of it and dyed some lovely eggs as well as their fingers.
