Off to Mom and Dad's for Spring Break..We left the bread winner at home and drove 8 hours down to Medford,Oregon..The weather cooperated on the way down..can't say the same for the ride home..
We dressed the kids up in their Easter Best the week before Easter since we would be driving home the next Sunday and there was General Conference..How come Alex can never look put together no matter how much I try?
We went for a drive Sunday afternoon into the mountains in search of a manzanita tree for Mom's decorations...It was an intense drive with Anna-Maria praying the whole time and my mom trying not to pee her pants..It was a one lane dirt road up a very steep mountain..I loved the views from the top..
and the bottom..
The next day we headed up to Crater Lake..Didn't make it that far because of the snow at the top..We did stop at a Gorge with a beautiful river running through it...It is better in person..
some just wanted to stay in the car...
The rest of the week consisted of shopping, dining, and shopping, visit with my sister Kristi and my nephew Ian who also drove down from Seattle for a couple of days..What else is there?
Saturday was Easter Egg Hunting..I thought they would have done plastic eggs but no...real dyed eggs..hundreds of them...It took about 2 minutes to clean the field up...Then off to the market we went..There is a great farmers market in Grants Pass every weekend..The smells of the fresh food was amazing and tempting.
We loved the Tap House for lunch..nice casual dining right on the river's edge..
The Easter Bunny visited us at Nana and Papa's..Fun basket filled with goodies and then an egg hunt in the house...Weather was too unpredicatable for outside..
Overall..an awesome week with some fantatistic parents..Thanks..

Looks like so much fun! Why does Anne Marie look like she is about to cry in her Easter pics with Alex. And...don't all boys look that way? lol
ReplyDeleteI love the river. Such a spectacular looking place. And you are very brave to do the one lane dirt road thing. I would have been right along with your Mom. By the way, their home is beautiful.
