April


We went to Colorado Spring for spring break. We stayed in a small cabin and we had so much fun. We went to Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls and Garden of the Gods. We played games in the cabin at night. The girls said their favorite game was Upwords and Rachel and Mom spent hours on a 1000 piece puzzle.
General Conference was wonderful. There were so many talks that seemed to be written just for us and we hope to follow the counsel given. It is always so uplifting and we are so thankful for a prophet
Rachel had her Royal Academy of Dance test in ballet. She was very nervous but she did great and graduated to level three. Sarah and Emily have had several fun field trips at school. They went to the aquarium in Denver and talked about sting rays for days. Laura is talking up a storm. She really wants to do everything herself even though she can’t. She gets so upset sometimes that she throws herself on the floor and squeezes her eyes shut. She loves to play in the backyard with her sisters and usually comes in with dirt in her hair, shoes and diaper. Tim and I ran in a 5K race around a lake in Longmont. Well, maybe I should say we jogged a 5K. It was fun but the cold wind made the beginning of the race really difficult. We also took a swing dance lesson. It was fun and we plan to take some more classes.
