What A Trip!
Monday April 5th
All who's left here is the four of us. Dale, Sue, Candace, & Katie. Dale had to leave in the afternon to get home before it got to late. The weather said it was supose to snow for the next 24 hours.
Dale had been gone maybe 15 minutes, and the girls and I got a call from him. His car broke down about 40 feet past the look out.(15 miles up the canyon) I (Sue) went up to see what I needed to do to help him. A guy had stopped and looked at the car. They tried to jump it, and a few other things, and nothing helped. They turned the car around, and Dale coasted to the look out.
He called Merrilee's husband Art to see what he thought. Ha ha ha! It just so happened they were staying at Sue's Parents condo at Bear Lake. So Art and Merrilee came up to take a look.
Still no luck. (probably the engine) So Sue needed to take Dale home, and come back up to the condo where She left Candace and Katie. By the time we got on our way it was snowing, and blowing hard. We still got back in pretty good time, but the last 90 miles we were driving 30 MPH on the freeway. We drove through the worst part of the storm. It would have been bad to try to go back following behind the storm. So I stayed the night at home, and left to go back in the morning. Because of our membership with world mark we had roadside assistance. So I got a hold of them and arranged for the car to be picked up. It was kind of a pain.
I will try to post some pictures the girls took while I was gone. (They Were Bored)

Easter/ spring break!
We have a whole week this year for spring break! We used some of our points from World Mark to go to Bear Lake.(Harbor Village) We had 2 places reserved for Saturday night so Wendy, Dallas, Chris, and Our nephew Blake had a place to stay. We all met up that night after the guy's stopped at different churches to attend the priesthood session, and Partied! The Kids started out at the pool. Then we took in a couple of videos, then called it a night around 1:30 am.
We were up early Sunday morning when Chris, and Sue made breakfast. We ate, while we listened to the morning session. After, we did allot of visiting, comparing computer skills and programs, and watching more videos etc.. We watched the last session of conference, and Sue made a huge Easter dinner. The guys were eager to go so we had a quick family meeting, then bid farewell to the boys. Wendy and Dallas stuck around for awhile. A bunch of us went to the pool to work off some of the days calories. Wendy and Dallas left pretty late, but everyone got home safe.
