Spring has Sprung

Well, the spring weather in Utah has definitely fallen short of our expectations this year, but we haven't let it stop us from having fun. Joe and I took the kids to California mid-March to get away from the gloomy weather. We had such a fun time with the kids. They have become such delightful, humorous, joyful people!
Disneyland - Fun day but long! Kids loved the rides.
Space Mountain was the favorite.
Spent 2 days in Newport Beach - Chilly but so nice to feel the sun and breeze.
I even think the teenager enjoyed herself. (Just don't tell her that.) (:
Sand, sun and fun
We finished the last day off with whale watching. It was pretty amazing.

Kelsey has been busy at school. She has been in the A.L.L. (Advance Learning Lab) program for the past 2 years. This year the school work has been very demanding, yet also very rewarding. The beginning of April Kelsey participated in Images of Greatness. Kelsey researched the life of William Shakespeare, prepared a tri-fold board, wrote a poem and then got to perform that poem the evening of the program. She was adorable and did a great job.
The end of April, Kelsey's class had a Renaissance Fair. Kelsey had several projects she had to complete to earn her place in society. She worked hard so she wouldn't be a peasant. She earned her spot as a "Lady" and had a fun day feasting and participating in activities. Fox13 News spotlighted her class on the early morning news. Way to work hard sis!
