Weekend getaway

Last weekend, we were able to do a little getaway to Eagar, AZ.  It was our friend, Pat's, birthday so we went back home with him and hung out with his family there.  We had so much fun and in a way it was a real mini spring break for Nate since he did so much working and not so much relaxing while we were in Show Low for our actual spring break.  We got there on Friday and I hung out with Kayton and Kimbi while the boys went prairie dog hunting.  They got back around dinner time and then we all went out to eat at Trail Riders.  It was really good food for such a small town and it was nice to go out.  The next day we tried to watch conference but it didn't work very well, so Kimbi and I played with the kids and the boys got things ready to go so we could go ride the 4 wheelers.  We went a little more off the path than I was use to, but Pat's dad knew of a natural spring that he wanted to take us to see.  Technically I shouldn't have gone because it was too much bouncing and off-roading for the baby, but I stayed in the truck most of the time and Nate and Pat got to ride the 4-wheelers.  Kayton went on the 4-wheeler for a little while with Nate and just loved it.  I loved watching them ride around and get to be boys.  We finally got back to the spring and got some pictures and then we had to turn right back around to head home so the boys could go to priesthood session.

The girls then went back to the house and while Pat's mom cooked dinner, we got to watch Tangled which was my first time watching it.  Just the cutest movie ever I might add.  Then we celebrated Pat's birthday that night with home made chicken and dumplings and then cake.  It was so good and we had a great time.  Sunday we watched the morning session of conference at Kimbi's parent's house and then we went back with Pat's family and had a BBQ for lunch and then we got packed up and left.  We had a fun time and maybe we will go back over the summer again with them.
