Easter Weekend

As usual, our trip down to visit with our families started later than we wished... Luke had to attend a play for school and so we didn't even leave Logan Thursday night until 11 pm! (yes, I did say PM) So we arrived at my parents house around 2 and then the poor guy had to stay up another hour and a half to work on an assignment that was due. (Pretty much WAY excited for the semester to be over with in a few weeks)
Anyway, after sleeping in.. yeah right... Tianna woke up at 6:45 because she was so excited to see her Grandma. We got up and headed out to meet up with all of the other campers. We camped at a cool place near the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry.

I'm posting a slideshow of our weekend but there is one drawback. One day when I get on the stick I want to print out my blog for a book and I don't know what to do with the slideshows. But for now, ENJOY!

We had such a good time. Friday the weather was a bit chilly but beautiful. I even made out with a sunburn (woooooot woooooot) Tianna had tons of fun running around with her cousins and friends (we had a really large camping group which consisted of my family, my brother-in-law's family, some of their in-laws, and a couple of other friends) Luke enjoyed shooting guns, riding horses, playing with the men-folk, and riding four-wheelers around. I spent most of the time sitting by the campfire and chasing Tianna around the camp. I went on a couple of good walks/hikes on the rocks and stuff near our campsite. We ate lots of good food and loved spending time with everyone.

Saturday was raining and cold.... but we made the most of it. The Easter Bunny made an appearance between breaks in the storm and it was so fun to watch the kids find their eggs in the rocks.
Tianna had so much fun with it that she kept saying, "More eggs?? Let's go find more Eggs!" So.... we rehid the eggs she had already found. It entertained her for a bit longer. :) Basically the entire rest of the day she spent her time digging in the dirt. I never imagined that would last for hours on end but it did!
Another funny thing she did while we were out there was falling in love with the many dogs running around. One in particular became her favorite. His name is Kozmo but for some reason she renamed his Goofy. The other dogs were Pongo and "other Pongo"-- neither of which were their real names either.

Now on to Easter Sunday. Late (again) Saturday night we made it to Luke's parents house and visited with his parents and his sister and boyfriend who flew in that day from Nebraska. After church on Sunday we made the rounds at the grandparents houses. First we went to GMA and GPA Peacock's house but they were headed to Uncle Gary's for dinner so we tagged along. (Luke's parents and siblings were out on the desert so we were sort of nomads.) Dinner at their house was really fun and Tianna enjoyed playing with their kids.
After that we made it over to GMA and GPA Lake's house for a good visit. After a little while Luke's immediate family had gotten off the desert and started trickling in to visit too.
Evenutally we made it back to his parent's house and had a late family dinner with them. It was a rarety to have all of his family under one roof.... so... of course we ended up staying way too late again. We left Castle Dale around 10 PM... at least it was an hour earlier than Thursday night..hahaha.
