Spring Break

For Spring Break this year drove down to Daytona Beach, Florida. It is about a 7 1/2 hour drive so not too bad. We went down to visit the college McKay is planning on going to in the fall.  

This beautiful picture is of us at lunch.

We stopped along our way down to Daytona in Jacksonville to visit a friend and her kids. It was so nice to get to know her kids and to see Elizabeth again. We were friends back when I lived in California as a kid. I think its been at least 20 years since I saw her last. 

Anyways, it was fun catching up Saturday night. Sunday was Easter. We started out the morning by making tombs. It is a crescent roll with a marshmallow dipped in butter and cinnamon, then rolled up. It is baked and when you take them out the marshmallow has melted. It represents the death of the Savior. 

 All the kids making tombs.

After breakfast, we watched General Conference. I loved the morning session. We then had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. McKay and Bailey hid all the eggs.

They had a tree stand in their back yard so McKay had to hide some up there.

After dinner that night, Elizabeth got out her Hawaiian shaved ice machine. So yummy. The kids all had fun watching and making their own.

Of course there was the talk of pokemon between the two boys.

Elizabeth and me.

Amy, Laurie and Elizabeth 1992 We really need to get all together again.

 We drove down to Daytona Beach to visit the school. McKay doesn't get excited to much but he really enjoyed everything about the school.  He is going for Aerospace engineering.

After the tour of the school, (which took almost all day) we checked into our hotel for the night. It was right on the beach. It was beautiful. 

This is our Elevator shot. Every time we got on Maddox would start quoting the lines from a studio c sketch. (Studio C is a BYUTV comedy show. We LOVE it)

The morning we were going home. It was a great quick get away. Granted it took almost 9 hours to get home because of silly road construction on I-95 but we made it home.
