Spring Break 2011

Julia and Ethan came to Utah last week for Spring Break. It was really fun to be all together. The kids played really well together.

We went to Las Vegas to see Sitto (Jamey's mom) and Matt's (Jamey's brother) family. Sitto moved to Las Vegas from New York in November. It has been nice having her so close and that she lives essentially across the street from Matt's family. While we were there, we went to the Vegas strip and actually had fun.

The picture on the bottom is with J.C.s cousin Tori, there are about six weeks apart and currently the same height. Tori insisted J.C. was taller, but it is a tough call. J.C.'s feet are bigger, so we know who will be taller in the long run.


After Vegas we went to California where Kathryn's family lives for Nathanael's baptism.


We went to Kathryn's brother's house and picked oranges from their tree. We picked lemons at Kathryn's parent's house. When we got home we had an email from Beth saying that Julia pulled a large fruit out of her back pack and wanted to make lemonade with it, she wanted to ensure it was indeed a lemon. We assured her the grapefruit sized citrus was indeed a lemon. As you can see in the picture, they are larger than the oranges.


Kathryn also ensured the children received their In-N-Out history lesson. The original In-N-Out burger was started in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California, just a few miles from where Kathryn grew up. They closed the first In-N-Out a few years ago, but it still stands. They built a new one next to the In-N-Out University just on the other side of the freeway from the original. We of course had lunch there and visited the Company store to acquire t-shirts.



A trip to southern California would not be complete without at least seeing the ocean, especially when you live in a landlocked state. This children also learned quickly that sand can end up in places where you don't want sand to g0.
