Family Weekend

Woo hoo! Just had a great trip out of town with the kids! Friday they were out of school for teacher in-service and we packed up and met Richard in LR. Our original plan was to meet him in Conway. However, Friday night he was in Dallas working, went to pick up food late and while he was in a restaurant someone broke out the back passenger window of his rental car and took his briefcase and his coat. HUGE problem to lose his briefcase full of his laptop (all his work), his files, and the car keys to his car parked in LR. So, we met him in LR with the extra set of keys to his car. Then we headed to the Apple store to take care of replacing his laptop so he can continue work. What a brilliant man, to have a back up hard drive at home.

Sooo, while we're in LR, we see the new Altitude Trampoline park we've been wanting to try out. It was SO fun and the kids had a blast. After an hour of sweating and laughing we headed to the RL event in Conway and picked up a few things for summer and saw Aunt Lana. Then, we headed up the road to Mimi and Gramps house. It was the first overnight trip for the kiddos....and they even panicked a little bit when we said we were "packing."

They had a WONDERFUL time walking down to the river, using the binoculars, sleeping in new places, making biscuits with Gramps, and then getting to go see the hatchery in Heber. Mimi enjoyed loving on them, making cookies with the girls, and hosting us all.  Our hike up Sugar Loaf was foiled by ice on the path, but Richard forged ahead through mud and cold to the other side of the mountain where we ended up going down the mountain to the road in front of Mimi's house. It was an unexpected adventure and even though all the girls grumbled (me included) we did indeed survive.

First of MANY trips...
