Spring Break

We have been on Spring Break this week and it has been so fun!


Had my birthday!
Last year in my 30s!


During conference the girls wanted to make blankets


They turned out great!


The Easter Bunny came early


We took a trip to DC


We walked all over




We went to the museum of Natural History


Saw some dinosaurs








Saw the Hope Diamond




Went up to the Washington Monument


It was super windy up there



All these food trucks at the National Mall


Fountain at the Ronald Reagan Building




We ate at the Food Court in the Reagan building since that is where we parked



That night we had a fun mutual activity


The high counselor who is over our ward has this 24 foot rock climbing wall in a building on his property


The youth got to try it out
Maddie made it to the top on her first try


Tanner too


Even Kinley tried it out


After helping all the youth for 2 hours, Trevor finally got a turn


The next day we went to Harpers Ferry


This is by the river






Had to throw some rocks






We ate at IHOP for dinner


We went to the local grocery store and they had this robot roaming around.
Maddie wasn't so sure about it


The next day we went to Harpers Ferry National Park and went on a hike


We got to see some Civil War sites, with cannons



And some beautiful views



We took the bus to the historic downtown area and walked around


We went to a bakery and got some treats
