Spring Break. With Chloe now in kindergarten we enjoyed our first official week off of school for spring break. Can I say that I loved it? I know some people love to have their kids at school, and I do love the ability to run more errands or clean more of my house without all of my kids to either back in a car or create a mess right behind me. But I loved having them home all week. I didn't have to get them to or pick them up from school, I didn't have to do Chloe's hair if I didn't want to, I also didn't have to make them get dressed. The weather cooperated too, so instead of travelling far off for spring break, which due to Joe's schedule, and other future planned trip wasn't really possible, we spent the week exploring things around us. Our first adventure was to the Bear River Bird Refuge, just east of Brigham City. The weather was still cold enough that we didn't see a TON of birds, but we did enjoy being outside...and taking pictures of kids in the car.
Our route also took us right by the Brigham City LDS temple, still under constuction. I can't wait to have another temple close to us open - especially given that the Ogden temple will still be closed for a while yet.

We had a great day out on the first of our many weeklong adventures...posts to follow.
