We took a quick trip to the desert for Spring Break. It seemed kind of funny to be leaving a vacation destination to go to another vacation destination one state over. But it was nice to visit family and enjoy our typical Arizona activities. I especially appreciated the break from…
We kicked off the week of Easter by spending a day at our city’s spring festival. It seemed like the whole town was out to collect eggs. The egg hunts were divided by age. Thank goodness for Troy who distracted Crew while he peered through the fence and watched his…
It’s always a happy day in March when the weather is warm enough to get some fresh air. Blake can take his machine building outdoors… Nash can clomp around in his dad’s ski boots… And Crew is just there for the show.
