In March we spent Spring Break at our family cabin in Midway. The family just completed an expansion and remodel of the cabin, complete with new furniture, and it's really beautiful. We enjoyed staying together and doing lots of fun activities. Ellie's 2nd birthday was that week, and Rachel had planned a fun Elmo party with fun games and treats.
We went to the local bowling alley and made quite a scene in the "Stuga" t-shirts that Robin made for all of us.
We did an "Amazing Race" which included crazy stunts like inspecting Freddy's tongue and hanging upside down.
Other highlights of the week were "cracker whacking", a pirate murder mystery, latin dancing, watching Downton Abbey, and lots of fun games and crafts. Of course, we also ate tons of good food! The downside to all of this togetherness was that Emily got sick during the week, and by the time we left most of the little ones were sick. Peter spent part of the next week in the hospital, and Kaitlyn had RSV and had to make visits to the hospital as well. Yikes! Overall it made for a very memorable week! We're glad that everyone had a full recovery.
On our way back to Idaho we got to visit our new little cousin Leo Hanson who was born on March 30th. Congratulations to Derrek and Laurie on a beautiful new baby boy!
Oh, and who is that hairy man??
Andrew decided to change things up a little this Spring and try T-ball. He had an awesome coach and a really fun team. He also had lots of intensity! It was a great season and lots of fun to watch.
The girls spent most of their time during the games playing on the playground.

In February I took a trip with my mom, Robin, and Kaitlyn out to Missouri to help Rachel get settled into her new house. I guess there have to be some perks to having your sister live far away!
On our last day we rode an elevator to the top of the St. Louis arch. The view is amazing, and we had fun checking it out.
It was really a great girls' trip, and we're counting the days until the next one!
