This one time, we got some mini bikes

We got these as an anniversary present.  Mom surprised Dad by getting 2 of these for the big 12!  They were fun to ride around the circle, but we realized they would be hard to transport, they were a bit hard for even Kate to maneuver, and one was damaged.  It was a fun dream, and fun to think about fun toys we want to get in the near future, but we ended up returning them.

Easter Fun

There was an excitement in the air...

Kate decorating eggs

We had an Easter Egg hunt first thing in the morning, then time for soccer for the three older kids.  It was a gorgeous day for soccer and all three kids played awesome and had a really fun time.

Later in the day, Kate playing with baby boy. 

Austin blowing a raspberry on baby's tummy 

It was a fun day and so nice the next day to be able to go and worship and learn about Jesus.

Spring Break Staycation

The kids got a whole week off of school for the first time for Spring Break this year.  We really wanted to go somewhere fun, so we planned to go to Southern Utah to Arches National Park.  Sunday, everyone started getting a nasty cold so we decided we better just do a staycation.  Dad took a few days off of work, and we got to spend some great time together!

We went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point first.  They had tons of baby animals, so that made it really fun.

Here is Ty feeding one of the goats some food.

Kate was really excited about seeing the horses, but also felt intimidated.

 Logan loved being out of the house and seeing some new things.

We got to go on a wagon ride pulled by a tractor just like Grandpa Durtschi's!

We also went to Trafalga.  We played a couple of games of Laser Tag, played Miniature Golf, and the kids got to go on a few rides

Here is Ty trying to retrieve a rocket

And finally, ice cream at Leatherby's

It was so fun to have some time together and have the kids home from school for a week.

Here is Scott having a good day...

 Little does he know what danger awaits him 

Ohhhhhhhh

Payback time!

These 2 sillies planned this whole thing.
