March

March brought some fun adventures with it.  Lydia got to go do baptisms in the temple for the first time!!  We went with her friend Claire.  It was her first time too.  The kids also had spring break in March and we went on an adventure.  We drove down to Mesa, AZ and spent a few days with Beau's sister Creche.  Then we spent a couple of days at the Grand Canyon and last of all we saw our good friends the Calder's in St George.  It was a lot of driving, but a great adventure

We asked a lady to take a picture and this is what we got. In her defense she did not speak english. 
We did learn not to throw objects from the bridges.

If you asked Tyler what his favorite part was, it was the shuttle buses at the canon
We are on one of those buses in this picture

This guy did a good job taking a picture for us.
