Surprise! That is how our Spring Break started. No one knew that we were headed to Arizona except my parents. We debated, we plotted, we anticipated the excitement.It was going to be fantastic to surprise everyone!
One by one, we surprised the family. First, Misty. Then Ryson and BrookeLyn. Then Ryan and Cara. Last was Cayla. We simply knocked on her door. When she opened the door she couldn't believe her eyes! It was hard for her to tell that it was actually us standing there once she started crying. It was a BIG surprise and we loved it.
When we go to Holbrook there are certain things that we must do. First on the list is to eat at El Rancho. Just typing the words makes my mouth start to water. Comfort food is what you grow up eating and that would be El Rancho for me. Now my kids love it just as much. Chips, salsa, "B, Green"...it's all very tasty! We ate there more than once while in Holbrook. We also made it to Wayside and the rock shop on the other side of the bridge. Life is simple.
We did some fun things while we were there and the things we did were all made better because we were able to do them with family.
We played with this little cutie...
And we helped this one celebrate turning three!!
We went to Grand Falls. The Little Colorado River makes this Willy Wonka-ish chocolate cascade. It wasn't easy to find but we were glad that we did. Not too many people actually get to see it flowing.
We went there with all of these people...
The girls let their Nan doll them up...hair and make-up! Ooo-la-la.
We got to hug and kiss this little chub-chub. Oh, how sweet it was.
We miss being able to see everyone more often and it was so fun to be able to spend some time with our family. There's nothing like family. It was a great vacation but there was one thing missing...Jeff.
