Spring Break

We were barely home 36 hours from DC before we were off again for our annual Spring Break trip with our friends.  It was a great way to end Spring Break just hanging out with good friends.

Thursday night we all arrived to the house we rented, BBQ'd some delicious food then hung around the house for the rest of the night

The next morning we set off on our adventures. 

With 5 families it is a whole parade of cars when we head out :)

First stop-

Parowan Gap

The middle girls. 

Sophie, Savannah, Lizzie, Celeste

All the kids

.  Each year we seem to dwindle by one or two due to

missions, college or marriage but we still have a pretty big group of kids!

Afton and Lilly love their Cassie!

On the way back to the house for lunch Hadfield's got a flat. 
About 24 hours later Harrison's would get a flat also.

Red Cliffs

Short little hike to some beautiful red cliffs and a cliff jumping pool

Owen, Jayden, Lilly, Greta, Taylor, Justin

 So lucky to have these two in my life and call them my good friends

Being able to vacation with one of your good friends is pretty cool.
Ethan and Colin

The Moms

Julieann, Stacey, Jody, Alisha, Julie

The Dads
Mark, Ted, Cameron, Jim, Aaron

We tried to get to Toquerville Falls that night but it turned into a horrible drive and we finally turned around and headed back to the house arriving much later than we meant to.

On Saturday we got up and packed up our stuff. 
On the way home we stopped at the Lava Tubes

Pretty amazing group of people right here
Missing Julie, Alisha, Jaren and Julieann

 Another pretty amazing group of people :)

Our last stop was going out to eat.  When we stop somewhere all together we have a tendency to invade the restaurant.  We did call ahead to make sure it was cool for our group of 30 to come.  They were more than accommodating to us!!  Thank you Garden of Eat'n in Fillmore!

Our car once we got home! 

Yep- a lot of mud, dirt, 4 wheel drive and fun!
