Spring Break 2009

This year for Spring Break we left the gloom of Oregon behind and headed for the warm sun of Arizona. We did so much while we were there and everyone had a great time. Here is a recap through pictures...

The girls experienced the perks of flying First-Class

So did Stratton and his bear, John.

Once in Arizona...we found Spring waiting for us!

We took the kids out to Woodruff Falls for a little picnic

Stratton was so hot that he needed to take off his shirt :)

We hung out with cousins
- Ryson and Stratton -

Cascia, BrookeLyn and Presley

Stratton worked on his electric guitar skills

Uncle Ryan took us all for a ride in his plane

We left Holbrook for a few days to visit Tucson

Jeff and Stratton had to pull off to the side

of the road to "visit nature"--

Stratton got too close to the cactus

An Arizona sunset can't be beat

The Tucson Zoo is one of the kids favorites

They fed the giraffs

Pretended they were turtles

We went to the U of A bookstore to
replenish our Wildcat gear

We went to Old Tucson Studios

Waited at the train depot

Checked out an old steam locomotive

Posed for a family shot

Drove cool cars...three times

Went with the Albrecht cousins to
eat at Little Anthony's Diner

Pretended to be Elvis

And Marilyn!

Presley got baptized in Holbrook

Saw friends from California

-Cas and Lexie-

The Kersten and Hammond kids

Visited with family...

the kids and I with my Grandma Stuart

It was a really fun trip. We did a lot, drove a lot and enjoyed being around family a lot.

We miss everyone (and the sun) already!
